Salesforce App Builder Practice Exam

Which sequence represents a typical application lifecycle?

1. Development, Integration Testing, User Acceptance Testing, Staging, Product Migration

2. Development, User Acceptance Testing, Production Migration

3. Development, Training, User Acceptance Testing, Staging, Production Migration

4. Development, Integration Testing, User Acceptance Testing, Regression Testing, Production Migration

The correct answer is: Development, Integration Testing, User Acceptance Testing, Staging, Product Migration

The selected sequence accurately reflects the normal stages in a typical application lifecycle. It begins with Development, where the application is built and initial coding takes place. Following development, Integration Testing occurs to ensure that different components and services work together smoothly. This stage is essential as it helps identify any issues that arise from interactions between different parts of the application. Next is User Acceptance Testing (UAT), which allows end-users to test the application to ensure it meets their requirements and is ready for real-world use. This phase is critical as it validates the application from the perspective of its users. After UAT, the application may proceed to Staging, which is an environment that closely mimics production. This stage allows for final testing in an environment that resembles the live environment before actual deployment. Finally, the sequence concludes with Product Migration, where the application is moved to the production environment for use by the end-users. This structured approach helps in minimizing risks and ensuring that the application is fully functional and meets user expectations upon release. The other sequences do not capture the complete workflow that typically occurs in application development. Some lack important stages, such as Integration Testing or Staging, which are crucial for building confidence in the application before it reaches production.
