Question

What should a developer use to script the deployment and unit test execution as part of continuous integration?

Options

• ADeveloper Console
• BExecute Anonymous
• CSalesforce CLI
• DVS Code

Explanation

To script deployments and unit test execution as part of a continuous integration process, a developer should utilize the Salesforce CLI due to its command-line automation capabilities.

Common mistakes.

• A. The Developer Console is a browser-based IDE primarily used for interactive development and debugging, not for scripting automated CI/CD processes.
• B. Execute Anonymous is a feature for running single lines or blocks of Apex code, not a tool for scripting an entire deployment and test execution process within CI.
• D. VS Code is an integrated development environment (IDE) for writing code, and while it integrates with Salesforce, it's not a scripting tool itself for CI/CD automation; it relies on tools like the Salesforce CLI.
