The product team should review the Checkmarx errors and determine if they need to fix them or not. If the errors are false positives, meaning that they do not indicate a real security issue, the product team should mark them as such and attach an explanation, then submit the security review. This will help the Salesforce security review team to understand the rationale behind the code and avoid unnecessary rejections. The product team should not leave the errors to the Salesforce security review team, as they may reject the request if they find any potential security issue. The product team should not leave a partner support case, as this is not the proper channel for resolving code issues. The product team should not fix all the errors before submitting the security review, as some of them may not be relevant or critical, and fixing them may introduce new bugs or delays.

 Creating a governance process requiring all projects to create project deliverable documentation is an option that an Architect should recommend, as it helps to ensure that the code and configuration are well documented and maintained, and that the administrators can understand the rationale and impact of the changes. Creating a standard method for deprecating classes and fields using design standards is also an option that an Architect should recommend, as it helps to avoid cluttering the org with unused or obsolete metadata, and to improve the performance and security of the application. Creating an adoption plan for end users using Salesforce dashboards and reports is not an option that an Architect should recommend, as it does not address the issue of how objects and fields are being used and how future implementations can be maintained. Creating a design standard requiring integration to use declarative configuration patterns is not an option that an Architect should recommend, as it does not address the issue of how objects and fields are being used and how future implementations can be maintained. Creating a governance framework focused on high-level business strategy and goals is not an option that an Architect should recommend, as it does not address the issue of how objects and fields are being used and how future implementations can be maintained.

The best deployment strategy for UC to use in this environment is to refresh the developer’s sandbox, develop changes, refresh the common sandbox, deploy to the common sandbox, test changes, as this will ensure that the developer’s sandbox has the latest production data and metadata, and that the common sandbox has the latest production data and metadata as well as the developer’s changes, before testing and deploying to production. Option B is not correct, as refreshing the developer’s sandbox after testing the changes will erase the changes and make them unavailable for deployment to the common sandbox. Option C is not correct, as refreshing the developer’s sandbox after developing the changes will erase the changes and make them unavailable for deployment to the common sandbox. Option D is not correct, as refreshing the common sandbox before developing the changes will make the common sandbox out of sync with the production data and metadata.

The most challenging factor to consider in merging the two Salesforce.com orgs into a single org is the customer data, as it may contain duplicates, inconsistencies, and conflicts. Option D suggests using standardization and de-duplication tools to merge the customer data, which is a reasonable approach. Option A is not true, as transactional sales data may have different formats, fields, and values in the two orgs. Option B is not necessary, as salespersons selling both product lines can use a single login in the merged org. Option C is not true, as business processes on standard objects may have different workflows, validation rules, and triggers in the two orgs.

 The best release strategy for creating a new report to support an urgent client request is to utilize the daily release process. The daily release process is designed for small and quick changes that do not require extensive testing or approval. The daily release process can create the report directly in a full sandbox and then deploy it to production. The major and minor release processes are more suitable for large and complex changes that require more testing and approval. The major and minor release processes should not create the report directly in production, as this may cause errors or conflicts.

The best options to enforce code quality in UC’s continuous integration process are to introduce manual code review before deployment to the testing sandbox and to introduce static code analysis before deployment to the testing sandbox. Manual code review can help identify and fix any errors, bugs, or best practices violations in the code. Static code analysis can help check the code quality, complexity, and security using automated tools and standards. Introducing manual code review before deployment to the production org may be too late, as the code may have already caused defects or issues in the testing sandbox. Increasing the size of the testing team assigned to the project may not improve the code quality, as the testing team may not have the skills or authority to review or modify the code. Testing data creation is outside the scope of code quality.

 Agile development methodology allows for frequent and incremental releases of functional code, which enables stakeholders to provide feedback and validate the requirements. Agile development methodology also embraces changes in the project requirements as the business needs evolve, and adapts to them accordingly.

An unmanaged package is a suitable option for deploying an application from a contractor’s own Salesforce to UC’s Salesforce environments. An unmanaged package allows the contractor to share the application code with UC, while giving UC full control and ownership of the code. An unmanaged package also does not require a namespace prefix or a security review.

 To address the bug in production, the architect should recommend the following approaches: Investigate potential data impacts, fix the bug in a hotfix branch, and seek stakeholder approval for the hotfix. Investigating the data impacts can help assess the severity and scope of the bug, and determine the best course of action to mitigate any data loss or corruption. Fixing the bug in a hotfix branch can help isolate the change and avoid introducing any other changes from the current sprint. Seeking stakeholder approval for the hotfix can help ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements and governance policies.

 B and D are the decisions that should be made by an Architecture Review Board (ARB), as they involve choosing the best methodology and authentication mechanism for the project, which have significant impacts on the project scope, quality, and security. A is not a decision that should be made by an ARB, as it is a low-level design decision that can be made by the developers or technical leads. C is not a decision that should be made by an ARB, as it is a testing decision that can be made by the testers or quality assurance leads.

QUESTIONNO: 87

What is the process used to initiate a connection for change sets?

A. Modify the source org to allow an outbound connection to the target org

B. Modify the target org to accept an outbound connection from the source org

C. Modify the target org to accept an inbound connection from the source org

D. Modify the source org to allow an inbound connection to the target org

Answer: A

A is the correct answer, as the process to initiate a connection for change sets is to modify the source org to allow an outbound connection to the target org. B and C are incorrect, as the target org does not need to accept any connection from the source org, but only to deploy the inbound change sets that are sent from the source org. D is incorrect, as the source org does not need to allow any inbound connection to the target org, but only to create and upload the outbound change sets to the target org. You can learn more about this process in the Change Sets Basics module on Trailhead.
