CRT-450 Exam Dumps - Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I (SU24)

Option A:

String query = 'SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Name LIKE \'%' + String.escapeSingleQuotes(name) + '%\'';

List results = Database.query(query);

Explanation: This option uses String.escapeSingleQuotes(name) to sanitize the name variable. This method escapes any single quotes in the input, preventing malicious input from breaking out of the string context in the SOQL query.

When multiple triggers are associated with the same object and event, Salesforce does not guarantee the order in which they will execute.

Option D: Trigger execution order cannot be guaranteed.

Correct Answer.

Explanation:

Salesforce does not provide a mechanism to define or guarantee the execution order of triggers on the same object and event.

If order is important, developers should combine the logic into a single trigger or use trigger frameworks that manage execution order.

The recommended process for deploying code and configurations from a Sandbox to Production is to use a change set.

Option C: Use a change set to deploy the Apex code and Lightning Components.

Explanation: Change sets are the standard mechanism provided by Salesforce for deploying customizations between connected orgs (e.g., Sandbox to Production). They support deploying Apex classes, Lightning components, and configurations.

The requirement is to model a many-to-many relationship between Account and Bug__c:

Each Account (company) can report multiple bugs.

Each Bug__c can be reported by multiple accounts.

To represent a many-to-many relationship in Salesforce, we use a junction object.

Option A: Junction object between Bug__c and Account

Correct Answer.

Explanation:

Create a custom junction object, e.g., AccountBug__c, with two master-detail relationships:

One to Account.

One to Bug__c.

This allows linking accounts and bugs in a many-to-many fashion.

Enables reporting on which companies have reported which bugs.

To integrate Order__c records with the ERP system after their status is set to 'Placed', and considering that orders may be uploaded in bulk, the developer should:

Option D: Callout from a Queueable class called from a trigger

Explanation:

Trigger: Implement an after-update trigger on Order__c to detect when the status changes to 'Placed'.

Queueable Apex: Use Queueable Apex to handle asynchronous processing and callouts. Queueable classes support callouts by implementing the Database.AllowsCallouts interface.

Benefits:

Handles Bulk Data: Queueable Apex can process records in batches and can be chained for processing large volumes.

Supports Callouts: Unlike future methods, Queueable Apex allows for more complex data types and supports callouts with fewer limitations.

In the provided class:

public class myClass {

public void myMethod() { /* implementation */ }

}

The class myClass is declared without any sharing keyword (with sharing, without sharing, or inherited sharing).

Default Sharing Behavior:

Apex classes without an explicit sharing declaration run in system context, meaning they do not enforce sharing rules.

Option B: Sharing rules will not be enforced for the running user.

Explanation: Since myClass does not specify with sharing, methods within it execute without enforcing sharing rules, allowing access to all data irrespective of the running user's sharing rules.

In Lightning Web Components (LWC), custom events are used for communication between components. The two characteristics that are true for LWC custom events are:

Option A: Data may be passed in the payload of a custom event using a property called detail.

Explanation: When dispatching a custom event in LWC, you can pass data using the detail property of the event. This allows the parent component to access any data emitted by the child component.

// Child component JavaScript

const myEvent = new CustomEvent('myevent', {

detail: { data: 'Some data' }

});

this.dispatchEvent(myEvent);

To ensure that specific data is available in test methods, the developer should create test data within the test context.

Option B: Use Test.loadData() and reference a CSV file in a static resource.

Correct Approach.

Explanation:

Test.loadData() is a method that allows test methods to load test data from a CSV file stored as a static resource.

This method creates the records in the test context, ensuring that the data is available during the test execution.

Using a CSV file makes it easy to define multiple records with specific field values.

Usage Example:

@isTest

private class MyTestClass {

@isTest

static void testMethod() {

List testRecords = (List) Test.loadData(MyObject__c.sObjectType, 'MyTestData');

// Proceed with testing using testRecords

}

}

Where 'MyTestData' is the name of the static resource containing the CSV file.

Trace Flags in Salesforce are used to set logging levels for various entities to debug and monitor execution. They can be configured for:

Apex Classes (Option C):

You can set a trace flag for a specific Apex class to monitor its execution and debug logs.

When deploying Apex code to production, the following considerations are required:

Option B: All triggers must have at least one line of test coverage.

Explanation:

Salesforce mandates that every trigger has some test coverage.

Universal Containers wants to prevent Opportunities from being edited once they reach the Closed/Won stage. To achieve this, the developer can use the following strategies:

Option A: Use a validation rule.

Correct Approach.

Explanation:

A validation rule can be created on the Opportunity object to prevent users from editing records when the Stage is Closed/Won.

The validation rule would evaluate whether the record's StageName is 'Closed Won' and, if so, display an error message when a user attempts to edit and save the record.

Example Validation Rule:

AND(

ISPICKVAL(StageName, 'Closed Won'),

ISCHANGED(ANYFIELD) // Replace ANYFIELD with specific fields if needed

)

Benefits:

Declarative Solution: No code required.

Consistent Enforcement: Applies across all user interfaces and API.

When updating a record of a junction object in Salesforce (an object used to create a many-to-many relationship), you must have the appropriate permissions.

Required Permissions:

Read/Write access on the junction object: To update the junction object record itself.

Read/Write access on both master (parent) records: Because the junction object is in two master-detail relationships, and its security settings are controlled by the parent records.

Given the options:

Option A: Read/Write access on the primary relationship

Option B: Read/Write access on the secondary relationship

These options correspond to having Read/Write access on both parent objects.

Supporting References:

Master-Detail Relationships:

Permissions Inheritance: The detail (junction) record inherits sharing and security settings from the master (parent) records.

Updating Records: To update a detail record, users must have Read/Write access to both the detail record and its parent records.

Universal Containers (UC) wants to calculate the estimated ship date for an Order, which should be the date when all Order Line Items are available. The availability date is stored on each Order Line Item.

Given that the relationship between Order and Order Line Item is Master-Detail, we can leverage Roll-Up Summary Fields to perform calculations on the child records (Order Line Items) and summarize them on the parent record (Order).

Option A: Use a MAX Roll-Up Summary field on the latest availability date fields.

Correct Approach.

Explanation:

Create a Roll-Up Summary Field on the Order object.

Use the MAX function to calculate the latest availability date among all related Order Line Items.

The Roll-Up Summary Field will display the maximum (latest) availability date, which represents the date when all items are available.

This date can be used as the estimated ship date for the Order since the Order can only be shipped when all items are available.

Benefits:

Declarative Solution: No code required.

Real-Time Calculation: Automatically updates when Order Line Items change.

The Lightning Component framework provides:

Option A: Prebuilt components that can be reused

Explanation:

The framework includes a library of base components that developers can use to build custom components and applications.

These components can be reused and combined to create complex UIs.

To run a script that deploys to a sandbox:

Option A: VSCode

Explanation: Visual Studio Code with the Salesforce Extensions Pack allows developers to deploy code using scripts and integrates with Salesforce CLI.

Option D: SFDX CLI

Explanation: The Salesforce CLI (SFDX CLI) can be used to script deployments to any org, including sandboxes.

Example Command:

sfdx force:source:deploy -u sandboxAlias -p path/to/source

The error message 'Maximum trigger depth exceeded' occurs when a trigger invokes itself recursively more than the allowed limit.

Option C: The trigger is getting executed multiple times.

Correct Answer.

Explanation:

This error indicates that the trigger is recursively calling itself.

This can happen if the trigger performs an update or insert operation that causes the same trigger to fire again, leading to an infinite loop.

Salesforce enforces a limit on the recursion depth to prevent stack overflows.

Option C: Handle low-level events in the event handler and re-fire them as higher-level events.

True.

Explanation:

It's a best practice to encapsulate lower-level events and re-emit them as higher-level, application-specific events to decouple components and simplify event handling.

Since Case and Defect__c have Private organization-wide defaults (OWD), users need explicit access to the parent records to access the child records in a master-detail or junction object relationship.

The Case_Defect__c is a junction object between Case and Defect__c.

Option C: Share the parent Case and Defect__c records.

Correct Answer.

Explanation:

To access a record on a junction object (Case_Defect__c), a user must have access to both parent records.

Sharing both the Case and Defect__c records with the user will grant them access to the Case_Defect__c record.

To make a Lightning Web Component (LWC) available in Salesforce Classic, you can embed it in a Visualforce page using Lightning Out.

Option D: Use the Lightning Out JavaScript library to embed the Lightning Web Component in a Visualforce page and add to the page layout.

Lightning Out allows LWCs to be embedded in Visualforce pages.

The Visualforce page can then be included in Salesforce Classic interfaces.

Why Not Other Options:

Option A: Visualforce components cannot directly contain LWCs.

Option B: Wrapping an LWC in an Aura component and surfacing it as a Visualforce tab doesn't make it available on page layouts.

Option C: You cannot invoke an LWC from a Visualforce page using an Apex method call.

References:

Lightning Out for Visualforce:

"Lightning Out is a feature that extends Lightning components to any web page. Use it to embed Lightning web components in a Visualforce page."— Lightning Web Components Dev Guide: Use Lightning Web Components in Visualforce Pages

To fire an exception in Apex, the developer must use the throw statement along with an instance of the exception.

Option A: throw new ParityException();

Correct Way.

Explanation:

Creates a new instance of ParityException with no message and throws it.

Syntax is correct for throwing an exception.

Option C: throw new ParityException('parity does not match');

Correct Way.

Explanation:

Creates a new instance of ParityException with a custom message and throws it.

The exception class inherits from Exception, which allows passing a message to the constructor.

Options Not Correct:

Option B: new ParityException('parity does not match');

Incorrect.

Explanation:

This statement creates a new instance of ParityException but does not throw it.

Without the throw keyword, the exception is not fired.

Option D: new ParityException();

Incorrect.

Explanation:

Similar to Option B, this creates a new instance but does not throw it.

The exception will not affect the flow unless it is thrown.

Conclusion:

The two ways the developer can fire the exception are:

Option A: throw new ParityException();

Option C: throw new ParityException('parity does not match');

Both use the throw statement to fire the exception.

The Apex test fails in the Test Runner but succeeds in the Execute Anonymous window because the test method relies on existing data in the sandbox.

Isolation of Test Data: By default, Apex tests do not have access to pre-existing data in the organization. Tests are executed in an isolated context to ensure they are not dependent on external data, promoting reliability and repeatability.

"Apex test methods don’t have access to pre-existing data in the organization. The test methods have access to all data that they create and to changes made by other test methods (unless the @IsTest(Isolated=true) annotation is used)."— Apex Developer Guide: Isolation of Test Data from Organization Data in Unit Tests

Execute Anonymous Window: When code is run in the Execute Anonymous window, it executes in the current user's context and has access to all organization data, including existing records.

"All Apex code runs in system mode. The only exception is anonymous blocks, such as code executed using the Execute Anonymous window or the SOAP API."— Apex Developer Guide: Enforcing Object and Field Permissions

Solution: To fix the failing test, the developer should create the necessary test data within the test method or use the @IsTest(SeeAllData=true) annotation if access to existing data is absolutely necessary (though this is generally discouraged).

"If you specify @IsTest(SeeAllData=true), the test method has access to all data in the organization, but the test can be slower and less reliable because it might depend on data that changes."— Apex Developer Guide: Using the SeeAllData Annotation

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option A: While calling an @future method requires special handling in tests, it would not cause the method to pass in Execute Anonymous and fail in tests.

Option C: A syntax error would prevent the code from compiling, so it wouldn't run in either context.

Option D: Using System.runAs is only necessary when testing code that behaves differently for users with different profiles or permissions.

Conclusion: The discrepancy arises because the test method is attempting to access data that isn't available in the test context, leading to its failure in the Test Runner but success in the Execute Anonymous window.

To test the trigger with 200 account records with unique names using the least amount of code:

Option A: Use Test.loadData to populate data in your test methods.

Explanation: Test.loadData allows you to load test data from a static resource (CSV file) into your test method. This approach minimizes code since you don't have to write code to create each record.

To build a responsive application capable of responding to touch events and executed on stateful clients, the developer should use technologies that support modern web standards, responsive design, and touch interactions. The two technologies that meet these requirements are Aura Components and Lightning Web Components.

Option A: Aura Components

Explanation: Aura Components are part of the Lightning Component Framework and are designed to build dynamic web applications for mobile and desktop devices. They support responsive design and can handle touch events, making them suitable for building applications that run on stateful clients.

To represent that an applicant has applied for a job when each applicant can apply to multiple jobs:

Option B: Junction object between Applicant and Job

Explanation: A many-to-many relationship in Salesforce is modeled using a junction object. The junction object would have two master-detail relationships, one to Applicant and one to Job.

Implementation:

Create a custom object, e.g., JobApplication.

Add master-detail relationships to both Applicant and Job.

The first step in the Salesforce order of execution:

Option D: The original record is loaded from the database.

This is Step 1 in the order of execution.

Why Not Other Options:

Option A: Overwriting old values happens after loading the record.

Option B: JavaScript validation occurs on the client side before server processing.

Option C: System validation for field lengths happens after loading the record.

References:

Order of Execution:

"1. Loads the original record from the database or initializes the record for an upsert statement."— Apex Developer Guide: Triggers and Order of Execution

To allow partial success when inserting a list of records, the developer should use the Database class methods with the allOrNone parameter set to false.

Option B: Database.insert(records, false)

Correct Answer.

Explanation:

The Database.insert() method allows for partial processing.

By setting the second parameter (allOrNone) to false, the operation will attempt to insert all records.

If some records fail, the successful ones will be committed, and the errors can be examined from the result.

Usage:

Database.SaveResult[] results = Database.insert(records, false);

for (Database.SaveResult sr : results) {

if (sr.isSuccess()) {

// Record inserted successfully

} else {

// Handle errors

for (Database.Error err : sr.getErrors()) {

System.debug(err.getMessage());

}

}

}

Lightning Web Components (LWC) can access various Salesforce resources.

Option B: SVG resources

Accessible.

Explanation:

LWCs can include SVG files to define custom icons for the component.

The SVG file is placed in the component bundle with the name componentName.svg.

ISV Package Development:

The ISV is developing a managed package.

They have an Apex class BodyFat with a method calculateBodyFat().

Requirement:

Ensure calculateBodyFat() is accessible by consumers outside the package namespace.

Solution:

To allow methods in a managed package to be accessible outside the package namespace, they must be declared as global.

Option B: Declare the class and method using the global access modifier.

Correct Approach.

Explanation:

Global Classes and Methods:

In managed packages, only classes and methods declared as global are accessible outside the package namespace.

Declaration:

global class BodyFat {

global void calculateBodyFat() {

// method implementation

}

}

Important Notes:

Public classes and methods in managed packages are accessible only within the namespace.

Global is required to expose the functionality to subscribers.

To create a custom user interface component that allows users to enter information about their accounts and validate user input before saving, the best technology is:

Option A: Lightning Web Components

Lightning Web Components (LWC):

LWC is a modern UI framework built on web standards, providing efficient performance and a rich set of base components.

Input Validation:

LWCs support client-side validation using standard HTML5 validation and custom validation logic.

Developers can use JavaScript to validate user input before saving data to the database.

User Experience:

LWCs provide a responsive and interactive user experience, which is essential for data entry components.

Using Database.insert with allOrNone=false allows partial success in DML operations.

Option D: Use the Database method with allOrNone set to false.

Records that cause errors are not inserted.

Successful records are committed.

Prevents the entire batch from failing.

Why Not Other Options:

Option A: Deactivating the trigger is not practical.

Option B: Removing the class from the profile may cause other issues.

Option C: A try-catch block won't prevent the batch from failing.

References:

Database Methods:

"Use the Database DML methods to specify whether or not to allow partial record processing."— Apex Developer Guide: Using the Database Class

To troubleshoot query performance issues:

Option B: Developer Console

Explanation: The Developer Console provides tools like the Query Plan to analyze SOQL queries for performance.

Using Query Plan Tool:

Open Developer Console.

Go to the Query Editor.

Enter your SOQL query.

Click on "Explain" to see the query plan.

To meet the given requirements, we need a relationship that allows:

Calculating the total amount on an Order.

This can be achieved using roll-up summary fields on the Order object to sum up values from its Line Item child records.

Roll-up summary fields are only available on the master object in a master-detail relationship.

To calculate the sum of all Order Line item totals on the Order record in a master-detail relationship, the best practice is to use a Roll-up Summary Field.

Roll-up Summary Field: This field type allows you to perform calculations on a set of related records, such as summing up the total price of all Order Line items related to an Order.

"Roll-up summary fields allow you to display a value in a master record based on the values of fields in a detail record."— Salesforce Help: Define Roll-Up Summary Fields

Master-Detail Relationship: Since Order Line items are in a master-detail relationship with Orders, roll-up summary fields can be created on the master object (Order) to summarize data from the detail object (Order Line).

"You can create roll-up summary fields on any custom object that is on the master side of a master-detail relationship."— Salesforce Developer Guide: Roll-Up Summary Fields

Why Not Other Options:

A. Quick Action: Quick actions are used to create records, log calls, send emails, etc., and are not suitable for calculating and displaying aggregate data.

B. Apex Trigger: While triggers can perform the calculation, using them for this purpose is not considered best practice when declarative solutions like roll-up summary fields are available.

"Use declarative functionality (roll-up summary fields) for maintaining aggregates instead of triggers."— Salesforce Developer Guide: Best Practices for Triggers

D. Formula Field: Formula fields cannot aggregate data from child records to parent records unless they are part of a roll-up summary field in a master-detail relationship.

Conclusion: Using a roll-up summary field is the most efficient and recommended approach to sum the total prices of all Order Line items on the Order record.

When deploying Apex code to production, Salesforce requires that all Apex triggers have at least 1% code coverage and the overall code coverage must be at least 75%.

In this scenario:

The developer has a test class that covers 95% of the helper class.

The deployment fails because the trigger has 0% coverage.

The error message indicates that the trigger needs at least 1% coverage.

Solution:

Option A: Create a test class and methods to cover the Apex trigger.

Correct Action.

Explanation:

Write a test class that specifically tests the trigger's functionality.

Ensure that the trigger is executed within the test context.

This will increase the trigger's code coverage above the required 1%.

When a developer is alerted to an issue with a custom Apex trigger causing records to be duplicated, the most appropriate debugging approach is to add System.debug statements to the code.

Option A: Add System.debug statements to the code to track the execution flow and identify the issue

Trace Execution Flow: System.debug statements help log the values of variables and the execution path.

Identify Logic Errors: By examining the debug logs, the developer can pinpoint where the duplication is occurring.

Minimal Impact: Adding debug statements is a minimal code change and does not alter the functionality.

To ensure that the variables creditAmount and debitAmount cannot change once assigned, the final keyword should be used.

Option B: Use the final keyword and assign its value in the class constructor.

Declaring a variable as final allows it to be assigned once.

Assigning the value in the constructor is acceptable for instance variables.

Option D: Use the final keyword and assign its value when declaring the variable.

Assigning the value at declaration ensures it cannot be changed later.

Why Not Other Options:

Option A: Using static with assignment in the constructor is invalid because static variables belong to the class, not instances.

Option C: Using static and assigning in a static initializer doesn't prevent reassignment unless final is also used.

References:

Final Variables:

"You can declare instance variables as final. A final variable can only be assigned a value once, either when you declare it or in the constructor."— Apex Developer Guide: Classes, Objects, and Interfaces
