Salesforce App Builder Practice Exam

Which of the following can you safely create in a production organization?

1. Apex Classes.

2. Custom Apex Controllers for Visualforce Pages.

3. Triggers.

4. Reports and Dashboards.

The correct answer is: Reports and Dashboards.

Creating reports and dashboards in a production organization can be performed safely because they are built-in features of Salesforce that do not impact the underlying database schema or application functioning. They do not introduce custom code or complex configurations that could potentially lead to issues or errors within the system. Reports and dashboards allow users to visualize and analyze data without altering the way data is stored or processed. They are designed to be flexible and safe to use, providing value to the business while maintaining system integrity. In contrast, creating Apex classes, custom Apex controllers, and triggers involves writing code that interacts with Salesforce's underlying framework. These development activities carry risks; if not properly tested in a sandbox environment first, they could introduce bugs or performance issues in the live environment. Therefore, while Apex and triggers are essential components for custom functionality, they necessitate careful deployment practices to ensure a stable production environment.
