Salesforce Developer Changed Development-Lifecycle-and-Deployment-Architect Questions

The three benefits of using a partner development org over an individual development org in this scenario are:

• Partner development org has a greater number of licenses available for the team. This means that the developers can test their app with different user profiles and permissions, and also invite beta testers to provide feedback2.
• Partner development org offers higher API limit. This means that the developers can use more API calls to integrate their app with external systems or services, and also leverage the Salesforce APIs to automate their development and deployment processes2.
• Partner development org offers more storage. This means that the developers can store more data and files in their org, and also use more features and components that require storage, such as Big Objects, Platform Events, or Lightning Web Components2.

The other options are not benefits of using a partner development org over an individual development org in this scenario, because:

• Only partner development org supports managed beta testing. This is not true, as both partner development org and individual development org can create and distribute managed beta packages3.
• Partner development org never expires. This is also not true, as partner development orgs have a 12-month expiration period, which can be extended by request

The development model that is optimized for this need is to use unlocked packages to deploy the global code and allow each country to create its customized unlocked package extensions. This model can help maintain the global standardization and consistency of the code, while also providing the flexibility and autonomy for each region to customize some aspects of the code for their specific needs. Unlocked packages are a type of second-generation packaging that can be created and installed using the Salesforce CLI or APIs, and can be upgraded or uninstalled as needed. Unlocked package extensions are a type of unlocked packages that can depend on and extend another unlocked package or a managed package. See Unlocked Packages for more details.

This is the correct answer because utilizing unit and functional test automation as part of a continuous integration strategy can prevent regression by ensuring that the code and configuration are always tested and validated before deployment. Utilizing the developer console to run test suites is not sufficient and may not cover all the functionality. Utilizing Salesforce Apex Hammer is not a feasible option as it is an internal tool that Salesforce uses to test customer orgs before major releases. Freezing development of new features and re-architecting the system is not a realistic or cost-effective approach to prevent regression.

 In the change set model, the source of truth is a combination of the metadata already in the environment and the content of your change set, as you stated correctly. However, a change set cannot be retrieved from the developer’s workbench as a package, nor can it be pushed into the version control system. Change sets are only available within the Salesforce UI, and they are not compatible with version control systems. In the package development model, the source of truth is the metadata in the package project, which makes it easy to integrate to a version control system, as you stated correctly. Additionally, in the package development model, the best practice is to consider the dependencies and build them into the package so it can be deployed in any other target orgs. This ensures that the package is self-contained and does not rely on external components that may not exist in the target org.
