01. When an existing pipeline is placed under Continuous Delivery, which part of the promotion process changes?
a) The action that starts the promotion is performed by the pipeline
b) The deployment sends the metadata that changed most recently
c) The user story moves without a commit being recorded first
d) The validation performed on the change becomes a lighter check
02. How do the criteria that select a user story for an automated promotion differ from the gates configured on a stage?
a) Criteria run before a commit; gates run once the deployment has finished.
b) Criteria are set per user story; gates are set per repository branch.
c) Criteria decide whether a run starts; gates decide whether it continues.
d) Criteria are evaluated by the team; gates are evaluated at each commit.
03. Every time the team deploys to a freshly refreshed integration sandbox, somebody opens the org and edits a handful of configuration records so the sandbox points at test endpoints.
Which deployment task should take that routine over?
a) A manual task assigned to whoever refreshed the sandbox.
b) A find and replace rule on the deployed metadata.
c) An environment variable set that supplies those record values.
d) An Apex task that edits those records after the deployment.
04. Analysis is configured as a gate on the stage that feeds the production environment, and on no earlier stage. A developer promotes a story containing a rule violation out of the development environment toward the next environment.
What is the outcome of that first promotion?
a) It is blocked, since gates apply across every stage of the pipeline
b) It completes, and the violation is cleared from the story record
c) It completes, and the violation surfaces only at the stage carrying the gate
d) It is blocked, pending an approval for the ungated stage
05. Why would a team place an Apex task before the metadata deployment rather than after it?
a) The script needs the components the release is about to add.
b) The script must capture the target's state before the release changes it.
c) The script completes faster while the target org is unchanged.
d) The script has to run against the release's new field definitions.
06. A conflict in a permission set was settled by keeping the promoting story's version, and the promotion completed. Weeks later, testers in the user acceptance environment report that a field permission another team delivered earlier is gone. That permission worked in the environment before the promotion, and no destructive change was committed.
What accounts for the missing permission?
a) The other team's story deployed without the permission set committed.
b) An environment variable rewrote the permission during that deployment.
c) The permission set was recommitted from a stale sandbox copy.
d) Keeping one version discarded the other team's edit to that file.
07. During an automated release to production, a compliance officer must sign off on the release, and an administrator must switch on a setting in the target org once the metadata lands.
How should the team configure this?
a) Use an approval gate for the sign-off and a manual task for the setting.
b) Add an approval gate for both, listing each owner on the stage.
c) Add an Apex task for the setting and a manual task for the sign-off.
d) Add two manual tasks, one for the sign-off and one for the setting.
08. An Apex test passes in the developer sandbox and fails when the same story is deployed to the next environment. The test queries a record it expects to be there already.
What should the developer change?
a) Deploy the expected record ahead of the class using a Manual task
b) Create the record the test needs inside the test itself
c) Add an Environment Variable Set entry for the record's identifier
d) Schedule the test run for after the data load has completed
09. Continuous Delivery promotes user stories automatically once a stage's criteria are met. A story reaches a stage whose gate runs Apex tests, and one of those tests fails.
What is true of the pipeline immediately afterward?
a) Every story in the pipeline pauses until the failure clears
b) The story rolls back to the previous environment stage
c) The gate is skipped and the promotion completes with a warning
d) The story holds at its stage and awaits review
10. What must be true for Copado Continuous Delivery to pick up a user story and promote it without manual action?
a) The story was promoted manually to the source stage first.
b) The story carries a completed manual task in Deployment Tasks.
c) The story is associated with the pipeline and it meets the criteria.
d) The story has an approval already recorded before its first deployment.
