A developer wants to use the Force.com IDE to develop Apex and Visualforce pages, and integrate with version control. What is a primary capability of the Force.com IDE?

It allows you to write, deploy, and synchronize Apex, Visualforce, and metadata with a Salesforce org.

It provides a real-time debugger for Apex code.

It can only be used for metadata deployment, not code development.

It is a web-based tool for running SOQL queries.

A development team uses the Force.com IDE to manage Apex classes and Visualforce pages. They want to integrate with version control and deploy code to production. What is a critical security consideration?

Deploy directly from the IDE to production to avoid the need for version control.

Store credentials in the IDE's configuration file for convenience.

Use a dedicated deployment user with minimal permissions and deploy via change sets.

Disable SSL/TLS to improve performance during deployment.

Which action in the Developer Console could potentially expose sensitive data to unauthorized users?

Running a SOQL query that selects fields the user does not have permission to view.

Executing anonymous Apex that performs a DML operation on a custom object.

Viewing debug logs that contain variable values from Apex code execution.

Using the Query Editor to run a query that returns only record IDs.

A developer needs to troubleshoot a failing Apex trigger in a production org. They plan to use the Developer Console to execute SOQL queries and view debug logs. What is the most secure approach?

Use Workbench in production to run the SOQL queries, as it provides read-only access by default.

Reproduce the issue in a sandbox org and use the Developer Console there, then deploy the fix to production after testing.

Run the queries and debug logs directly in the production org's Developer Console, as it only affects the current user's session.

Ask the system administrator to grant temporary API access to the developer so they can use the Force.com IDE to debug in production.
