Test Your Knowledge of Salesforce Certified Platform Developer
Question #1
A client needs a custom business logic that runs every time an Account is updated, regardless of the source.
Which approach should you use?
A) Write an Apex Trigger on Account.
B) Create a Workflow Rule.
C) Build a Process Builder process.
D) Use a Validation Rule.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Apex Triggers execute on all DML operations and sources. Workflow and Process Builder may not catch every scenario. Validation Rules only enforce data integrity, not logic.
Question #2
You must ensure data quality when users enter email addresses on custom objects.
What’s your best option?
A) Add a Regex pattern to a Validation Rule.
B) Use a Number field.
C) Set field as read-only.
D) Create a lookup relationship.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Regex in Validation Rules ensures correct format. Number fields and relationships aren’t relevant. Read-only prevents data entry.
Question #3
A project requires processing millions of records asynchronously.
What should you use?
A) Batch Apex.
B) Before Trigger.
C) Formula Field.
D) Scheduled Report.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Batch Apex is designed for large-scale, async processing. Triggers and formulas aren’t scalable for millions of records. Reports don’t process records.
Question #4
You need to expose Salesforce data to an external system securely.
Which method is most appropriate?
A) Develop a REST API with Apex.
B) Use a Formula Field.
C) Export CSVs weekly.
D) Share login credentials.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
REST APIs are industry standard for secure integration. Formulas and CSVs aren’t real-time. Sharing credentials is insecure.
Question #5
A customer wants to prevent deletion of certain records programmatically.
What’s the best solution?
A) Write a Before Delete Trigger that throws an error.
B) Set object permissions to read-only.
C) Use a Validation Rule.
D) Remove the Delete button from the page layout.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
A Before Delete Trigger can block deletions with code. Permissions and layouts are not granular or dynamic enough. Validation Rules don’t fire on delete.
Question #6
You need to schedule regular maintenance tasks in Salesforce.
What should you implement?
A) A Scheduled Apex class.
B) A Process Builder process.
C) A report subscription.
D) Validation Rule.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Scheduled Apex runs on a defined schedule. Process Builder and reports aren’t for backend jobs.
Question #7
You’re asked to ensure new Campaigns always have a unique custom code.
What’s the best approach?
A) Write an Apex Trigger to enforce uniqueness.
B) Use a Lookup field.
C) Add a Rich Text field.
D) Use a Validation Rule.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Apex can check uniqueness before insert. Lookup, rich text, and formula fields can’t enforce uniqueness.
Question #8
You need to implement complex business logic involving multiple objects and error handling.
Which tool is best?
A) Apex Classes.
B) Validation Rules.
C) Workflow Rules.
D) Approval Process.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Apex Triggers execute on all DML operations and sources. Workflow and Process Builder may not catch every scenario. Validation Rules only enforce data integrity, not logic.
Question #9
A client wants to customize the UI for a Visualforce page.
What should you use?
A) Custom Apex Controller and Visualforce Markup.
B) Standard Page Layouts.
C) Reports.
D) Workflow Rules.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Apex Controllers and Visualforce allow deep customization. Standard layouts and reports do not.
Question #10
You must call an external web service from Salesforce.
What’s the correct implementation?
A) Use Apex HTTP callouts with proper authentication.
B) Use a Formula Field.
C) Send outbound emails.
D) Add a Custom Button.
Solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
HTTP callouts are for web service integration. Other methods don’t support direct external communication.
