Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II

Salesforce · expert · 120 minutes

Update in progressSalesforce now publishes this exam as Platform Developer II, five sections, questions aligned to Winter 24; our bank was written for PD II as two broad domains with the release-version excuse, checked on 21 September 2026. The questions still teach the subject, but the split per domain has moved.

The senior developer credential, testing design rather than syntax: layered Apex with dependency injection and metadata-driven behaviour, dynamic SOQL with bind variables, selectivity and skew deciding whether a query throws, asynchronous design with stateful batches and finalisers, and integration where a callout may not follow DML; then composed Lightning Web Components with cache refresh after a write, mocking and bulk testing, enforcing field access in code rather than through sharing keywords, and source-driven packaging.
