Question 1

A Salesforce System Architect is designing the deployment lifecycle for an enterprise org with 5 development teams working simultaneously. Which environment strategy supports parallel development with minimal integration conflicts?

Use Salesforce DX with feature-branch development: each team works in a scratch org from a shared feature branch; completed features merge to an integration sandbox that serves as the pre-production gate before UAT and production promotion All 5 teams share one developer sandbox and coordinate changes via a shared spreadsheet Each team deploys directly to production independently when their feature is complete Use a single full copy sandbox for all development, locking it during deployments

Correct Answer:

Question 2

A Salesforce System Architect is designing Single Sign-On for a company where Salesforce should authenticate using the company's SAML 2.0 identity provider (Active Directory). In this setup, Salesforce acts as what?

The Service Provider (SP) — Salesforce trusts the IdP to authenticate users and accepts SAML assertions from Active Directory to grant Salesforce access without a separate Salesforce password The Identity Provider (IdP) — Salesforce provides the authentication for Active Directory A proxy that forwards credentials between Active Directory and third-party applications A certificate authority that issues SAML certificates to Active Directory

Correct Answer:

The Service Provider (SP) — Salesforce trusts the IdP to authenticate users and accepts SAML assertions from Active Directory to grant Salesforce access without a separate Salesforce password

Question 3

A Salesforce System Architect must design an integration where Salesforce needs to receive data from an external system whenever a specific event occurs (e.g., a payment is processed). Which integration pattern is MOST appropriate?

Event-driven / Fire-and-Forget: the external system calls a Salesforce Platform Event or a REST API endpoint when payment is processed; Salesforce processes the event asynchronously without requiring a synchronous response Polling: Salesforce queries the external payment system every 5 minutes using a Scheduled Apex job to check for new payments Request-Reply: Salesforce makes a real-time REST API call to the payment system on demand to retrieve payment status File-based batch: the payment system generates a nightly file that is uploaded to Salesforce via SFTP

Correct Answer:

Question 4

A Salesforce System Architect is designing an integration between Salesforce and an ERP system for bidirectional order synchronization. What is the key risk to address when both systems can write to the same data?

Conflict resolution: when both systems modify the same order data simultaneously, the integration must define a conflict resolution strategy (e.g., "Last Write Wins", "Salesforce Wins", or "ERP Wins") and detect update conflicts using timestamps or version tokens to prevent data loss The integration should be designed so only one system can ever modify order data; bidirectional write is architecturally unsound in all cases Salesforce automatically detects and resolves conflicts with external systems via its built-in conflict management service Bidirectional sync only creates conflicts if the sync runs more than once per hour

Correct Answer:

Question 5

A Salesforce System Architect must implement OAuth 2.0 for a server-to-server integration where no user interaction is possible. Which OAuth flow is designed for this use case?

OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Token Flow (for integration users) or Client Credentials Flow, which allow a server to authenticate to Salesforce using a pre-configured certificate/secret without requiring user login OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow which requires a user to log in and authorize the application OAuth 2.0 Implicit Flow which is designed for client-side browser applications OAuth 2.0 PKCE Flow which is designed for mobile applications
