Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 228

A newly hired developer discovers that there are multiple triggers on the case object.
What should the developer consider when working with triggers?

Answer options

• A. Developers must dictate the order of trigger execution.
• B. Trigger execution order is based on creation date and time.
• C. Unit tests must specify the trigger being tested.
• D. Trigger execution order is not guaranteed for the same sObject.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Salesforce does not guarantee the order of trigger execution for the same sObject, which can lead to unpredictable results. Option A is incorrect as developers cannot control the order; it is determined by the platform. Option B is also wrong since the order is not based on creation date and time, and option C is not relevant to trigger execution order.
