Salesforce CRT-450 - Salesforce Certified Platform Developer 1 (SP25)

Why Prebuilt Components?

The Lightning Component Framework includes a library of prebuilt components, which developers can use to build applications faster.

Why Not Other Options?

A: The framework is exclusive to Lightning Experience, not Classic UI.

C: The framework does not provide templates but focuses on reusable components.

D: Extended governor limits are not provided by the framework.

To ensure that the TestUtils class and its methods are only accessible by unit test methods, the class must be annotated with the @isTest annotation. This annotation limits the scope of the class and its methods to test contexts only.

Why @isTest?

Purpose of @isTest:

The @isTest annotation marks a class or method for use exclusively within test scenarios. It prevents the methods from being accidentally invoked in production code.

This ensures better test isolation and prevents misuse.

Static Test Data Methods:

Marking helper methods for test data creation as @isTest ensures they do not interfere with production code and are strictly for testing purposes.

Analysis of Options:

Option A: @isTest above line 03:

Incorrect. Applying @isTest only to the createAccount method would work, but the other methods in the class would still be accessible. This does not satisfy the requirement of restricting the entire class.

Option B: Add @isTest above line 01:

Correct. Annotating the class ensures all methods within the class are accessible only in the context of tests.

Option C: Change public to private on line 01:

Incorrect. Changing the class to private would cause a compilation error, as top-level classes in Salesforce cannot be declared private.

Option D: Remove static from line 03:

Incorrect. Removing static does not affect the test scope of the class or its methods. Static methods can still be invoked, and this does not restrict access to test contexts.

Correct Implementation:

The corrected code would look like this:

@isTest

public class TestUtils {

public static Account createAccount() {

Account acct = new Account();

// Set some fields on acct

return acct;

}

// Other methods...

}

Creating test classes ensures that the Apex class works according to specifications by validating the functionality under various scenarios and edge cases. Running tests in the Developer Console provides detailed feedback on whether the class meets requirements.

To check test coverage for autolaunched flows before deployment, developers need to use SOQL queries with the Tooling API. This provides detailed information about which flows are covered and their test results.

The Lightning component cannot directly perform SOQL queries.

An Apex class annotated with@AuraEnabledprovides server-side logic that can execute the SOQL query and return the data to the Lightning component.

Apex AuraEnabled Methods

In Visualforce, to specify a standard controller for a custom object, the syntax iscontroller="ObjectName__c".

To add custom functionality, you can use anextensionsattribute to include a controller extension.

Why not other options?

A: The correct syntax iscontroller, notstandardController, for custom objects.

BandC: These are syntactically incorrect.

Visualforce Pages Documentation

TheLimitsclass in Apex provides methods to check the consumption of governor limits, such as the number of SOQL queries, DML statements, and heap size used.

Example:

Integer dmlStatements = Limits.getDMLStatements();

Integer dmlLimit = Limits.getLimitDMLStatements();

Not Suitable:

Option A:OrgLimitsis not an Apex class.

Option C:Messagingdeals with email and messaging operations.

Option D:Exceptionis for handling exceptions, not tracking resource usage.

Limits Class

Scratch orgs are created using the Salesforce CLI (sfdx force:org:create) as part of Salesforce DX. It is specifically designed for development and testing purposes.

Why not other options?

B: Sandbox refresh is used for creating sandboxes, not scratch orgs.

C: Developer Console is used for debugging and code development but cannot create scratch orgs.

D: Workbench is a tool for API testing and data manipulation, not for scratch org creation.

Salesforce CLI and Scratch Orgs

A master-detail relationship fromEngineering_Support__ctoOpportunityallows multiple childEngineering_Support__crecords to be associated with a single parentOpportunity. It also enables roll-up summary fields to aggregate data from the child records onto the parentOpportunity.

MVC: The Model-View-Controller design pattern is ideal for Salesforce development as it separates the business logic (model), user interface (view), and controller logic, ensuring scalability and maintainability.

Salesforce’s architecture inherently supports MVC, with sObjects as the model, Visualforce or Lightning components as the view, and Apex controllers as the controller.

Why not other options?

A: The Waterfall model is a development methodology, not a design framework.

B: Flux is a front-end application architecture and not relevant to Salesforce.

D: Agile is a development methodology, not a design framework.
