Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II — Question 115
A developer wants to retrieve and deploy metadata, perform simple CSV export of query results, and debug Apex REST calls by viewing JSON responses.
Which tool should the developer use?
Answer options
- A. Developer Console
- B. Force.com Migration Tool
- C. Workbench
- D. Force.com IDE
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Workbench is the correct choice because it allows for metadata retrieval and deployment, simple CSV exports, and provides a way to view JSON responses for debugging Apex REST calls. The Developer Console is more suited for coding and testing rather than exporting data, the Force.com Migration Tool is primarily for deploying metadata, and the Force.com IDE is an outdated option that doesn't provide the same functionality as Workbench.
