Salesforce Plat-Arch-202 Sample Questions:

01. Calder State University develops its student-services app with the package-based model, and every developer works in scratch orgs. The registrar's office now needs an environment for a ten-week acceptance and training program: 40 staff will practice on loaded student test records, and their practice work must remain available until the program ends. The release lead proposes using a scratch org created with the longest lifespan available.

What should the architect recommend for the program environment?

a) A sandbox, such as Partial Copy, that persists until deliberately refreshed

b) A scratch org created with a 30-day lifespan that the release lead restores from the Dev Hub when it expires

c) A scratch org created with a 30-day lifespan and recreated from the scratch org definition file each month

d) A Developer sandbox refreshed every day, so the training environment always matches the latest package version

02. Larkspur State University's admissions team uses a Full sandbox, refreshed from production, to test a new flow that emails applicants when their application status changes. The tester asks the admin to change the sandbox's email deliverability from system email only to all email so the flow's messages can be checked. The sandbox holds about 80,000 real applicant contact records.

What should the architect require before email deliverability is opened?

a) Nothing further, because a sandbox refresh already appends a suffix to every email address in the org, including on contact records.

b) Deactivate every sandbox user except the tester, so only the tester's actions can trigger the flow's emails.

c) Mask or replace the email addresses on the applicant contact records in the sandbox, so messages cannot reach real applicants.

d) Limit the test to a few applicant records that the tester edits by hand, so the flow fires only for those records.

03. A small administrative team has finished a set of custom objects, Lightning pages and flows in a Developer Pro sandbox. One team member proposes bundling the components into an unmanaged package and installing it in production, because the package installation page feels simpler than the deployment tools.

What should the architect recommend for moving the components to production?

a) Use the unmanaged package, since its components stay editable in production after installation

b) Convert the components into a managed package so that production receives versions that can be upgraded later

c) Rebuild the components by hand in production, using the sandbox configuration as a step-by-step checklist

d) Deploy them with a change set or a Metadata API deployment

04. Tamarack Packaging Group runs nine plant orgs. A central team builds a shared quality-inspection app as an unlocked package and releases a new version monthly. Today each plant admin installs every new version by hand, and three plants are two versions behind because their admins were unavailable. Plant admins must not be required to act for routine upgrades.

What should the architect recommend?

a) Rebuild the app as an unmanaged package so plants can install it without version checks

b) Schedule push upgrades of each released version to all nine plant orgs

c) Send a change set carrying the package's metadata from a central sandbox to each plant org

d) Email each plant admin the installation link with a deadline and track completion centrally

05. Brightwater Power promotes the same commit from one main branch through integration, UAT, staging and production. The billing-system endpoint URL in a named credential and the meter-data platform's account ID in a custom metadata record are hardcoded with production values in the repository. Last week a deployment to UAT pointed UAT at the production billing system. The release team wants no manual edits in any org after a deployment.

Which two practices should the architect recommend?

(Choose 2 answers)

a) Hold each environment's endpoint and account values in the pipeline's per-environment configuration

b) Maintain a branch for each environment, holding that environment's copy of the endpoint and account values

c) Edit the endpoint and account values in each org after deployment, and record each edit in the release notes

d) Replace the hardcoded values in the repository with tokens that the pipeline resolves at deploy time

06. Copperline State Licensing Board's testers execute scripted test cases written from the approved requirements, and every script passes before each release. After go-live, licensees still report defects in paths nobody planned for, such as abandoning a renewal halfway and resuming it the next day, or paying twice by using the browser's back button.

What should the test manager add to the test approach?

a) More scripted test cases derived from the approved requirements for each step of the renewal process

b) Time-boxed exploratory testing sessions in which experienced testers probe the renewal process

c) Higher Apex code coverage on the renewal controllers so that more of their logic runs during tests

d) A longer UAT phase in which business sponsors run the same scripted cases a second time

07. Redfern City's revenue department releases its Salesforce tax and permits app monthly. The manual regression suite takes about three weeks to run, but this release has a five-day test window because its date is fixed by a statutory billing deadline. The release changes the property-tax payment process and the refund approval process; the parking permit pages are unchanged.

How should the test lead plan regression testing for this release?

a) Replace the regression cycle with the Apex unit tests that run during the production deployment

b) Work through the suite in its documented order, giving payment, refund and parking cases equal priority

c) Postpone the release until the complete regression suite has been run in the UAT sandbox

d) Rank areas by business criticality and change, then run payment and refund regression first

08. The Calloway County Department of Revenue runs a scheduled Apex job every night that calls the NoticeBatchService class to generate tax notices. A release that changes NoticeBatchService fails its production deployment with an error stating that the class is referenced by a pending scheduled job. The department's change policy does not permit altering org-level deployment settings for a single release.

How should the release manager deploy the change?

a) Abort the scheduled job before deploying, then reschedule it as a scripted post-deployment step

b) Deploy after midnight, once that night's notice job has finished running

c) Quick deploy a validation that passed in staging, since quick deploys skip the checks run at deployment

d) Rerun the deployment with RunSpecifiedTests, naming only the NoticeBatchService test classes instead

09. An internal platform team publishes a package that four other delivery teams build on, and it numbers versions as major.minor.patch. The current version is 2.4.1. The next version removes an Apex method that two of the consuming teams still call, and it also adds a new reporting component.

Which version number should the team give the new version?

a) 2.5.0, because the release also adds a new reporting component as a feature

b) 2.4.2, because removing an unused method only tidies the code

c) 3.0.0, because removing a method that consumers call is a breaking change

d) 2.5.1, because the release combines a new feature with a code change

10. For the third time this quarter, Wayfarer Rail Tours fixed a severity-1 booking defect by editing production directly, because the fix could not wait for the normal hotfix path. Each time the change was retrieved and committed to version control afterwards, so no work was lost on the next deployment. The head of delivery asks what else the architect recommends.

Which recommendation should the architect make?

a) Keep retrieving each emergency change into version control afterwards, since that already closes the gap

b) Review why the hotfix path was bypassed each time and change the process so the next urgent fix can use it

c) Remove production administration rights from every administrator, so that direct emergency changes become impossible to make

d) Add each emergency change to the next release notes, so stakeholders know what was changed in production and why
