✍️ Sample SP Questions & Answers

1. What type of certification might a training and education service provider require?
ISO 29993

ISO 29993 is a specific international standard for learning services outside formal education. It provides requirements for learning service providers, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of their non-formal education and training services. This certification helps demonstrate a provider's commitment to high-quality learning experiences.

2. An insurance company implementing Salesforce wants agents to quickly generate policy quotes. Which Salesforce product streamlines the configure-price-quote process for complex insurance products?
Vlocity/Industries CPQ

Vlocity (now Salesforce Industries CPQ) is purpose-built for industries like insurance with complex product configurations and regulatory requirements.

3. What is the difference between compiled and interpreted languages?
Compiled code is translated to machine code before execution; interpreted code is translated line by line during execution

Compiled languages are fully translated before execution, while interpreted languages are translated during runtime.

4. What is the key difference between `RunLocalTests` and `RunAllTestsInOrg` test levels during deployment?
`RunLocalTests` runs only tests from non-managed packages in the org; `RunAllTestsInOrg` also runs managed package tests

`RunLocalTests` excludes managed package test classes, while `RunAllTestsInOrg` includes every test in the org including those from managed packages.

5. What is the function of a Salesforce 'Profile' in the security model?
It controls object-level and field-level permissions along with system access settings for a group of users

A Profile defines baseline permissions including object CRUD access, field-level security, app access, login hours, and system permissions for all users assigned to it.

6. A business process requires Salesforce to call an external REST API within a trigger context. What is the primary architectural risk and its mitigation?
Synchronous callout blocking DML — use @future or Queueable Apex for async callouts

Callouts from trigger context are prohibited after DML; using @future or Queueable Apex makes the callout asynchronous and avoids the restriction.
