Question 1

An org has a requirement that an Account must always have one and only one Contact listed as Primary. So selecting one Contact will de-select any others. The client wants a checkbox on the Contact called 'Is Primary' to control this feature. The client also wants to ensure that the last name of every Contact is stored entirely in uppercase characters.

What is the optimal way to implement these requirements?

Write an after update trigger on Account for the Is Primary logic and a before update trigger on Contact for the last name logic.
Write an after update trigger on Contact for the Is Primary logic and a separate before update trigger on Contact for the last name logic.
Write a single trigger on Contact for both after update and before update and callout to helper classes to handle each set of logic.
Write a Validation Rule on the Contact for the Is Primary logic and a before update trigger on Contact for the last name logic.

Question 2

Universal Containers (UC) has enabled the translation workbench and has translated picklist values. UC has a custom multi-select picklist field, Products__c, on the Account object that allows sales reps to specify which of UC’s products an Account already has. A developer is tasked with writing an Apex method that retrieves Account records, including the Products__c field.

What should the developer do to ensure the value of Products__c is in the current user’s language?

Set the locale on each record in the SOQL result list.
Call the translate() method on each record in the SOQL result list.
Use toLabel(Products__c) in the fields list of the SOQL query.
Use the locale clause in the SOQL query.

Question 4

Universal Containers decided to use Salesforce to manage a new hire interview process. A custom object called Candidate was created with organization-wide defaults set to Private. A lookup on the Candidate object sets an employee as an Interviewer.

What should be used to automatically give Read access to the record when the lookup field is set to the Interviewer user?

The record cannot be shared with the current setup.
The record can be shared using an Apex class.
The record can be shared using a permission set.
The record can be shared using a sharing rule.

Question 5

A business requires that every parent record must have a child record. A developer writes an Apex method with two DML statements to insert a parent record and a child record.

A validation rule blocks child records from being created. The method uses a try/catch block to handle the DML exception.

What should the developer do to ensure the parent always has a child record?

Use Database.insert() and set the allOrNone parameter to true.
Delete the parent record in the catch statement when an error occurs on the child record DML operation.
Use addError() on the parent record if an error occurs on the child record.
Set a database savepoint to rollback if there are errors.

Question 6

A developer wrote the following method to find all the test accounts in the org:

public static Account[] searchTestAccounts(){
List<List<SObject>> searchList = [ FIND 'test' IN ALL FIELDS
RETURNING Account(Name)];
return (Account[]) searchList[0];
}

However, the test method below fails.

@isTest
public static void testSearchTestAccounts(){
Account a = new Account(name='test');
insert a;
Account [] accounts = TestAccountFinder.searchTestAccounts();
System.assert(accounts.size() == 1 );
}

What should be used to fix this failing test?

@testSetup method to set up expected data
@isTest(SeeAllData=true) to access org data for the test
Test.fixedSearchResults() method to set up expected data
Test.loadData to set up expected data
