Salesforce Platform Developer II Sample Questions:
A developer is working with existing functionality that tracks how many times a stage has changed for an Opportunity. When the Opportunity's stage is changed, a workflow rule is fired to increase the value of a field by one. The developer wrote an after trigger to create a child record when the field changes from 4 to 5. A user changes the stage of an Opportunity and manually sets the count field to 4. The count field updates to 5, but the child record is not created. What is the reason this is happening?
- A. After triggers fire before workflow rules.
- B. After triggers are not fired after field updates.
- C. Trigger.old does not contain the updated value of the count field.
- D. Trigger.new does not change after a field update.

A developer wrote a class named AccountHistoryManager that relies on field history tracking. The class has a static method called getAccountHistory that takes in an Account as a parameter and returns a list of associated AccountHistory object records. The following test fails:
Java
@isTest
public static void testAccountHistory(){
Account a = new Account(name = 'test');
insert a;
a.name = a.name + '1';
update a;
List<AccountHistory> ahList = AccountHistoryManager.getAccountHistory(a); System.assert(ahList.size() > 0);
}
What should be done to make this test pass?

- B. Create AccountHistory records manually in the test setup and write a query to get them.
- C. The test method should be deleted since this code cannot be tested.
