Salesforce Salesforce Certifications DEVELOPMENT-LIFECYCLE-AND-DEPLOYMENT-ARCHITECT Questions & Answers

  • Question 121:

    Universal Containers (UC) has multiple teams with major projects working concurrently in their own developer sandboxes. After deploying to production, a bug is discovered. Due to tight timelines, the development team has suggested correcting the bug in the user acceptance testing (UAT) environment, which is a full copy sandbox.

    What should the architect recommend?

    A. UC should spin up a new sandbox to use as a hot fix environment. Once the bug is corrected, the change should be applied to production and downstream environments.

    B. The fix should be made in the developer environment where the project work was done. Once the fix has been made, it should go through a full deployment/testing process and adhere to the normal project cadence.

    C. Since the issue was found in production, it should be treated as a change request and go into the backlog as an enhancement.
