Certified-Business-Analyst Exam Dumps - Salesforce Business Analyst Questions and Answers

One of the BA’s strongest arguments for using configuration over code is that configuration provides faster speed to market. Speed to market is the time it takes to deliver a product or service from conception to launch. Speed to market is important for gaining competitive advantage, meeting customer demand, and maximizing revenue potential. Configuration provides faster speed to market than code because it allows for creating and modifying functionality in Salesforce without writing code or deploying changes. Configuration can be done by using point-and-click tools such as App Builder, Process Builder, Flow Builder, Lightning Web Components Builder, etc., which are easy to use and require less technical skills than coding. Configuration also reduces the risk of errors or bugs that may occur with code and require more testing or debugging time.

The next step that the business analyst should take is to review the user stories to ensure they are small, testable, and valuable. User stories are statements that capture a requirement or feature from an end user’s perspective. They should be small enough to be completed within a sprint, testable enough to be verified by acceptance criteria, and valuable enough to deliver benefits or outcomes for end users. Reviewing user stories can help UC understand why development and testing took more time than expected, and how to improve them for future sprints.Creating a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to understand why development and testing took more time is not a good next step because it is a strategic tool that evaluates the internal and external factors affecting a project or initiative, not a tactical tool that evaluates the quality or effectiveness of user stories. Moving the deployment date out so the teams have more time to work is not a good next step because it does not address the root cause of why development and testing took more time, and it may affect the project scope or budget.

This answer states that reviewing these user stories in the backlog at the next sprint retrospective is what the BA should do next after discovering that a few user stories are no longer needed for revamping the order management process at NTO. User stories are short descriptions of a feature or a functionality from a user’s perspective. Backlog is a list of user stories that need to be prioritized and completed for a project or a product. Sprint retrospective is a meeting or a workshop where the project team reviews and reflects on their performance and progress in the previous sprint. Reviewing these user stories in the backlog at the next sprint retrospective means that the BA discusses and evaluates these user stories with the project team to determine if they are still relevant, valuable, or feasible for revamping the order management process. Reviewing these user stories in the backlog at the next sprint retrospective is what the BA should do next after discovering that a few user stories are no longer needed because it helps the BA to update and maintain the backlog, and to ensure that the user stories align with the project scope and goals.

The business analyst should gather testing requirements from the stakeholder to address the need for user acceptance testing (UAT) for a particular story involving an update to an important trigger. UAT is end-user testing performed in a sandbox or test environment to verify that a project or enhancement works as intended and what was originally requested is actually being delivered. The business analyst should gather testing requirements from the stakeholder to understand what scenarios or cases need to be tested, what data or inputs need to be used, what outputs or results need to be expected, and what criteria or metrics need to be measured. The business analyst should also document and communicate these testing requirements to the testers and developers involved in UAT. Running all Apex tests using change set validation is not an action that the business analyst should take to address the need for UAT for a particular story involving an update to an important trigger. Running all Apex tests using change set validation is a process that checks whether deploying a change set would succeed or fail in another org without actually deploying it. Running all Apex tests using change set validation helps ensure code quality and coverage but does not verify whether a project or enhancement meets user needs or expectations. Performing testing on all objects in the trigger is not an action that the business analyst should take to address the need for UAT for a particular story involving an update to an important trigger. Performing testing on all objects in the trigger is a process that checks whether the trigger works correctly and consistently for all objects that it affects. Performing testing on all objects in the trigger helps ensure functionality and performance but does not verify whether a project or enhancement meets user needs or expectations.

The technique that the business analyst is using to understand UC’s structure is stakeholder analysis. Stakeholder analysis is a technique that involves identifying, analyzing, and engaging the individuals or groups who have an interest or influence in the project outcome, such as customers, users, sponsors, managers, team members, etc. Stakeholder analysis helps to understand the functions, interactions, and reporting relationships of each stakeholder group, as well as their needs, expectations, priorities, and concerns. Stakeholder analysis also helps to plan how to communicate, collaborate, and manage the stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

This is the correct order for arranging the three components of a user story. The first component is “As a ”, which specifies the role or persona of the user who will benefit from the user story. The second component is “I want ”, which describes the goal or feature that the user wants to achieve or use. The third component is “so that ”, which explains the reason or value behind the goal or feature for the user.

Support agents are critical for the BA to include in UAT because they are the end users of the Service Cloud enhancements and can validate whether the solution meets their needs and expectations. System developers and quality assurance testers are important for the development and testing phases, but they are not essential for UAT, which is focused on the business requirements and user feedback. References: Learn About User Acceptance Testing Unit, [User Acceptance Testing Strategies for Large Data Volume Scenarios], [Role of the BA in User Acceptance Testing]

A full copy sandbox is a copy of a production environment that includes all data and metadata. It is suitable for user testing because it provides a realistic and isolated environment where users can test changes without affecting live data or users. Power users are users who have extensive knowledge and experience with the business domain and processes. They can provide valuable feedback and insights on whether the solution meets their expectations and requirements. A scratch org is a temporary and lightweight environment that is suitable for development and testing of code-based changes, but not for user testing of declarative changes. A partial sandbox is a copy of a production environment that includes some data and all metadata. It is suitable for quality assurance testing, but not for user testing because it may not have enough data to cover all scenarios.

This answer states that using Salesforce terminology and language is what the BA should recommend to the project team to increase understanding when documenting requirements, process and potential solutions for reviewing the existing Salesforce manufacturing solution that has low adoption and a variety of customization including custom objects, custom fields, renamed standard fields. Salesforce terminology and language are the words and phrases that are commonly used in the Salesforce ecosystem, such as objects, fields, records, apps, tabs, profiles, roles, etc. Using Salesforce terminology and language can help the BA to communicate and document the requirements, process and potential solutions in a consistent and accurate way, and avoid confusion or misunderstanding among the project team members who are familiar with Salesforce.

Whiteboarding is a technique that involves using a whiteboard or a similar tool to visually represent a process, problem, or solution. Whiteboarding helps the BA collaborate with multiple stakeholders by building a shared understanding of the current state, creating a space for everyone to contribute since the activity feels shared, and guiding the conversation while maintaining engagement. Whiteboarding also helps to identify issues, gaps, opportunities, and dependencies in the process, and to generate ideas and feedback from stakeholders.
