   An integration architect is testing a new integration that uses Named Credentials to authenticate to an external service. The test must verify that the integration correctly uses the named credential's authentication and that the callout is successful. Which testing approach is most appropriate?

   • AWrite an Apex unit test that uses the named credential in a callout and mocks the external service response.
   • BDeploy the integration to production and monitor the debug logs for authentication errors.
   • CUse Workbench to test the named credential by making a callout to the external service.
   • DUse Data Loader to test the named credential by loading data through the external service.

   An integration scenario involves a real-time API call from an external system to Salesforce. The stakeholder wants to ensure the API responds within 2 seconds under peak load. Which testing requirement is implicit in this scenario?

   • AData validation
   • BSecurity testing
   • CPerformance testing
   • DUnit testing

   A team is building an integration where Salesforce sends a payload to an external system and expects a synchronous response. The architect needs to test the integration's behavior when the external system is slow to respond, but the test must not consume unnecessary API call limits in the sandbox. Which testing technique is most appropriate?

   • AMake real callouts to a test endpoint that is configured to delay responses by 30 seconds.
   • BUse Workbench to send a request to the external system and measure the response time.
   • CWrite a unit test that uses a hardcoded delay in the Apex code to simulate slowness.
   • DUse a mock callout that simulates a delayed response to test the timeout handling in Apex.

   A company is integrating Salesforce with an external payment gateway. The integration must handle both synchronous and asynchronous responses. The architect needs to test the integration's behavior when the external system is slow to respond. The test must verify that the integration does not time out and that the asynchronous callback is correctly processed. Which testing approach is most appropriate?

   • ADeploy the integration to production and monitor the debug logs for timeout errors.
   • BWrite an Apex unit test that mocks the synchronous callout to be slow and verifies the timeout handling, then mocks the asynchronous callback.
   • CUse Data Loader to send a large batch of payments and measure the response time.
   • DUse Workbench to send a request to the payment gateway and observe the response time.

   A team is integrating Salesforce with an external marketing platform. The integration uses a scheduled Apex job to sync contact data every hour. The architect needs to verify that the job correctly handles partial failures when some contacts fail to sync. Which testing technique is most appropriate?

   • ADeploy the job to production and monitor the debug logs for errors.
   • BUse Data Loader to sync the contacts and review the error file.
   • CUse Workbench to manually trigger the scheduled job and inspect the results.
   • DWrite an Apex unit test that invokes the scheduled job's execute method with a mock callout that returns errors for some contacts.
