Why each option
Declarative development in Salesforce involves configuring features directly through the Setup menu and does not necessitate writing or testing Apex code.
All logic, whether declarative or programmatic, requires ongoing maintenance and periodic review to ensure it remains aligned with evolving business requirements and performs optimally.
Programmatic solutions using Apex typically offer higher governor limits and more flexibility compared to declarative tools, which often have stricter design and operational limits.
Declarative development in Salesforce is performed using the point-and-click interface within the Setup menu, allowing administrators to configure business logic without writing code.
Since declarative customizations do not involve writing Apex code, they inherently do not require the creation or maintenance of Apex test classes for deployment or functionality.
