I'm prepping for my Salesforce Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect. While I am about done with the trailhead attached to the cert, I was wondering what other resources people have used for this exam. Are there any practice exams? I checked out Focus on Force, and unless I missed something, I didn't see anything for this.
Any pointers on studying/the exam itself, are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi everyone! I’m gearing up for the CTA journey and would love to connect with others on the same path. Looking for a study group to brainstorm scenarios, share resources, and practice mock interviews. Open to flexible schedules, let’s support each other and make this journey fun and effective! If you know any existing group, kindly share.. I’d love to join.
How can we join that slack group? I'm getting a message that my email does not have an account on that workspace
Hi everyone 👋
I’m preparing Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect for it and would really appreciate insights from recent test-takers.
Please share your experience on the following points:
Thanks to this ItExamCerts, I passed my Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect exam with flying colors. Their Exam mastery and Exam readiness tips were instrumental in achieving my certification success.
OWD for Account is Private. If I share an account with another user will the record be visible to user's manager and above?
Grant using hierarchies for Account can't be unchecked in OWD due to standard object restriction.
yes users in roles above the role of the user the record is shared with will get access too, even with manual and apex sharing.
Behind the scenes this uses system-defined groups created for each role which contain all users with the role as well as all users with a parent role in the hierarchy. You can't query these directly, but there's more info on how they work in the Group Maintainence section from Record Access Under the Hood:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.salesforce_record_access_under_the_hood.meta/salesforce_record_access_under_the_hood/uth_groups.htmJust took my first step to CTA - after five years of working with SFDC as a Project Manager and Business Analyst, took and passed the admin exam today and have proudly added Salesforce Certified Administrator to my LinkedIn profile! Can't wait to get my next certification.
Hi Everyone,
Thank you for adding me to the group! I'm starting my CTA journey and it was recommended by a CTA to find a cohort to study with over the next two years. I have Salesforce trainings scheduled and exams starting on the Application Architect side. She mentioned that trying to study for the CTA after getting the certifications can be more difficult than studying with the CTA intention from the beginning. If anyone knows of a group like this I would love to join them! I did see a few things on the website that I'm still looking through as well.
Hello,
Need some advice from this wonderful group. I am preparing for the Sharing & Visibility Certification, however, some of the questions puzzle me. For example -
Customer complaints for bad interactions with a customer support agent are logged as Cases and assigned to the HR. The agent of the complaint should not see the case, but their manager should.
How is this accomplished?
A. Trigger on Case to lookup and share to the manager of an Assigned Agent custom field (the subject of the complaint) using Apex Managed Sharing.
B. Criteria-based Sharing Rule on Case that shares to the Role Manager and above when a custom field Assigned Agent (subject of the complaint) is not blank.
C. Case is owned by the subject of the complaint, so their manager in the role hierarchy can access the record. CRED permission are removed on Case so the agent cannot read the case record.
My doubt - Are there 2 separate cases or just the same case, where read access is revoked from the Agent and given to the manager?
There are other such ambiguous and flawed questions. How am I supposed to decipher such questions in the exam?
Thank you, @Ladies Be Architects! I just passed my Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect certification exam using the scholarship you provided!
@Ladies Be Architects i am studying for the sharing and visibility exam and i encountered some difficulties on choosing the correct solution:
My company has a private sharing model on accounts. Apex managed sharing is required to share certain account records with all users who are assigned to a specific role in the role hierarchy.
Should can be he right way to do this?
A) create an AccountShare record associated to the required role
B)create an AccountShare record associated to a public group containing the users in the role
C)create an AccountShare record associated to each user who is assigned to the role
D)create an AccountShare record associated to a public group containing the role
i was reading on this topic and i find hard to give the right solution , in the sharing table, it says
"The Id of the User to whom you are granting access. May also be a Public Group Id. When sharing to a role, you cannot assign Role Id to UserOrGroupId field directly. It should instead be a matching Group Id from Group table. This field cannot be updated."
Any idea of this solution?
Thanks.

D : The recommended way for the architect to implement this is to create an AccountShare record associated to a public group containing the role. This way, the architect can use Apex Managed Sharing to share certain account records with all users who are assigned to a specific role in the role hierarchy. Creating an AccountShare record associated to a public group containing the users in the role is not possible because public groups can only contain users, roles, or other public groups, but not a combination of them. Creating an AccountShare record associated to each user who is assigned to the role is not efficient because it requires more sharing records and maintenance. Creating an AccountShare record associated to the required role is not valid because AccountShare records can only be associated to users or groups, not roles
Hi, architects! I'm looking for someone to study with for the Integration Architect Certification exam. I need someone to share accountability with. Ideally we'll meet (remote is best) some time during my work day once or twice a week. I work Central Time Zone (US) hours, so 8 AM - 5 PM Central time.
With previous study-buddies, I've used Focus on Force Exams and Study Guides as well as Trailhead materials to study. I'm flexible about how we study, but would like to get this cert knocked out before the end of this year, if possible, and early next year at the latest.
Hi @Sophie Kunze and @Buyan thyagarajand -- I just set up a time with one of my colleagues, you'd be welcome to join us if the time zones work out! Friday mornings at 10 AM Central. I messaged both of you with my email address.
