Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II — Question 114

A developer is writing a complex application involving triggers, workflow rules, Apex classes, and processes. The developer needs to carefully consider the order of execution when developing the application.
1. Before Triggers
2. After Triggers
3. Post commit logic such as sending email
4. DML committed to the database
5. Workflow rules
6. Roll-up summary calculations
In what order do the following operations execute?

Answer options

• A. 1, 2, 5, 6, 4, 3
• B. 1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 3
• C. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3
• D. 1, 6, 5, 2, 4, 3

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct order of operations is crucial for ensuring that processes occur in the right sequence. Option A reflects the accurate execution order: Before Triggers, After Triggers, Workflow rules, Roll-up summary calculations, DML committed to the database, and finally Post commit logic. The other options do not align with the established Salesforce order of execution, which can lead to unexpected results in application behavior.
