QuestionQ23

Risk Identification and Mitigation

Universal Containers has recently started a project to implement a partner community. The application will be deployed to a production environment already used by a large Salesforce user base. The project manager has required the development and testing team to use one developer sandbox.

What is the risk of this approach?

  • A Testers will experience functional changes throughout testing due to NOT having isolation from development.
  • B Refreshing the developer sandbox will take significant time.
  • C Testers will encounter platform limits due to developer sandbox capacity limits.
  • D Testers will hit governor limits due to the large volume of users in the developer sandbox.
Explanation

Development and testing need separate environments so that testing occurs against a stable build. When both teams share one developer sandbox, developers can introduce functional changes during the test cycle, leaving testers without isolation and making results unreliable.
