Development-Lifecycle-and-Deployment-Architect Exam Dumps - Salesforce Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect (SU24)

The architect should recommend that UC start a citizen development program to minimize additional costs and allow UC to accomplish more from the backlog. A citizen development program is a way of empowering non-technical users to create and deploy simple applications using low-code or no-code tools, such as Salesforce Platform. This can help UC leverage the skills and knowledge of their existing workforce, reduce the workload of the development team, and deliver value faster to the business.

To ensure that bugs found in production are more easily analyzed in the full sandbox, the architect should recommend to refresh the full sandbox after every deployment in production, and to perform the same process in the sandbox before any deployment in production. This way, the full sandbox will be in sync with the production org and will have the same metadata and code. Creating a daily process of copying new and changed data in production to the full sandbox is not necessary, as the full sandbox already has a copy of the production data. Performing a Refresh Data in the full sandbox is not possible, as this option is only available for partial copy and developer pro sandboxes.

The development model that the architect should recommend to be used by the consolidated development team is the package development model. This model allows teams to build release artifacts that can be tested and released independently from artifacts for other projects, using unlocked packages or second-generation managed packages. This model can help improve the modularity, reusability, and maintainability of the code and configuration, as well as enable source-driven development and continuous integration and delivery. The org development model is not a good choice for the consolidated development team, as it is based on working directly in an org and using change sets or metadata API tools to deploy changes. This model can lead to conflicts, dependencies, and governance issues, especially when working on multiple projects or with multiple teams. The change set development model is also not a good choice for the consolidated development team, as it is based on using change sets to deploy changes between connected orgs. This model can be slow, error-prone, and limited, as it does not support all metadata types, dependencies, or automation. The package development model does not allow packages to be created and deployed using declarative (point-and-click) development tools, without writing code. This is a wrong statement, as the package development model supports both declarative and programmatic development tools, and requires writing code to create and install packages using the Salesforce CLI or APIs. See Package Development Model for more details.

The best strategy to delete the day’s test data in a partial copy sandbox every night is to execute a batch job that deletes all records created on the day. This way, you can automate the process of cleaning up the test data and avoid manual work. Manually deleting all records individually is time-consuming and error-prone. Creating a new developer copy sandbox every night is unnecessary and wasteful, as developer copy sandboxes have limited storage and functionality. Refreshing the sandbox every night is also not feasible, as partial copy sandboxes have a refresh interval of 5 days.

Managed package is the recommended mechanism for releasing an application that can be installed in other Salesforce environments. Managed packages allow for versioning, licensing, and upgradeability of the application. They also protect the intellectual property of the developer by hiding the source code of the Apex classes and Visualforce pages.

The org development model is a traditional approach that uses sandboxes as the primary development environments. It relies on tools such as change sets, the Ant Migration Tool, or the Metadata API to deploy changes between orgs. One of the benefits of this model is that it allows automated deployment, meaning that the deployment process can be scripted and executed without manual intervention. This can save time and reduce errors. Another benefit of this model is that it allows automated sandbox provisioning, meaning that the creation and configuration of sandboxes can be done programmatically using the Sandbox API or the Salesforce CLI. This can help maintain consistency and alignment across different environments. Automated defect fixing and automated change tracking are not characteristics of the org development model, but rather of the package development model, which uses source code as the source of truth and supports source tracking and automated testing.

The evidence that can support the CTO’s claims is a burndown chart showing the team misses their forecast sprint after sprint. This indicates that the team is overcommitting and not able to deliver the work they planned. The definition of done, the Kanban board, and the burndown chart showing the team finishes early are not relevant to the CTO’s claims, as they do not reflect the actual progress and performance of the team.

 To support application lifecycle methodology, you need tools that can help you manage the source code, automate the deployment process, and track the issues and bugs. A version control repository is a tool that allows you to store, track, and collaborate on the source code of your application. A continuous integration tool is a tool that allows you to automate the deployment of your code to different environments, as well as run tests and validations. An issue tracking tool is a tool that allows you to record, monitor, and resolve the issues and bugs that arise during the development and testing phases. A database management system is a tool that allows you to store, manipulate, and query data, but it is not directly related to application lifecycle methodology. A middleware is a software layer that facilitates communication and data exchange between different applications, but it is not directly related to application lifecycle methodology either.
