Salesforce is the leader in cloud computing, offering applications for all aspects of your business, including CRM, sales, ERP, customer service, marketing automation, business analytics, mobile application building, and much more.
Here are some important interview questions on Salesforce.
1
Answer: Profiles decide the dimension of access a client can have in a Salesforce organization.
To the extent the initial segment of the inquiry is concerned, yes. One profile can be doled out to any number of clients. Take the case of a Sales or Service group in an organization. The whole group will be allocated a similar profile. The administrator can make one profile: Sales Profile, which will approach the Leads, Opportunities, Campaigns, Contacts and different articles esteemed essential by the organization.
Along these lines, numerous clients can be appointed a similar profile. On the off chance that the group captain or chief need access to extra records/protests then it tends to be finished by allotting consent sets just for those clients.
Answering the second part of the question, each user can only be assigned 1 profile.
2. What are Governor Limits in Salesforce?
Answer: In Salesforce, it is the Governor Limits which controls how much information or what number of records you can store in the mutual databases. Why? Since Salesforce depends on the idea of multi-inhabitant engineering. In more straightforward words, Salesforce uses a single database to store the data of multiple clients/ customers.
To ensure no single customer consumes the common assets, Salesforce presented the idea of Governor Limits which is entirely implemented by the Apex run-time engine.
Governor Limits are a Salesforce developer’s greatest test. That is in such a case that the Apex code ever surpasses the limit, the normal representative issues a run-time exemption that can’t be taken care of. Henceforth as a Salesforce developer, you must be exceptionally watchful while building up your application.
Different Governor Limits in Salesforce are:
Per-Transaction Apex Limits
Force.com Platform Apex Limits
Static Apex Limits
Size-Specific Apex Limits
Miscellaneous Apex Limits
Email Limits
Push Notification Limits
3. What is a sandbox org? What are the different types of sandboxes in Salesforce?
When can you use it?
You can utilize it when you need to test a recently created Force.com application or Visualforce page. You can create and test it in the Sandbox organization as opposed to doing it specifically underway. This way, you can build up the application with no problem and after that relocate the metadata and information (if appropriate) to the production environment. Doing this in a non-production environment allows developers to freely test and experiment applications end to end.
Types of Sandboxes are:
Developer
Developer Pro
Partial Copy
Full
4. Can you edit an apex trigger/ apex class in
Only if the page has to do something unique (different values), it would have to be developed via Sandbox.
5. What are the different data types that a standard field record name can have?
Sr No - {1}
Sr No - {2}
Sr No - {3}
6
7. What is WhoId and WhatId in activities?
WhatID alludes to objects. Example: Account ID, Opportunity ID
8. What is the use of writing sharing rules? Can you use sharing rules to restrict data access?
As a matter of course, all clients in your association will have association wide-default sharing settings of either Public Read Only or Private.
To offer access to more records, which clients don’t possess, we compose sharing principles.
Example: Sharing rules are used to extend sharing access to users in public groups or roles. Hence, sharing rules are not as strict as organization-wide default settings. They allow greater access for those users.
As far as the second part of the question is concerned, the answer is no. We cannot use sharing rules to restrict data access. It is only used for allowing greater access to records.

Text: All users can create or change this template
HTML with letterhead: Only Administrators and users having “Edit HTML Templates” permissions can create this template based on a letterhead.
Custom HTML: Administrators and users having “Edit HTML Templates” permissions can create this template without the need of a letterhead
10. What is a bucket field in reports?
The advantage is that earlier, we had to create custom fields to group or segment certain data.
11
Master-Detail Relationship (1:n):- It is a parent-child relationship in which the master object controls the behavior of the dependent child object. It is a 1:n relationship, in which there can be only one parent, but many children.The main concept you need to be know is that, being the controlling object, the master field cannot be empty. If a record/ field in master object is deleted, the corresponding fields in the dependent object are also deleted. This is called a cascade delete. Dependent fields will inherit the owner, sharing and security settings from its master.You can define master-detail relationships between two custom objects, or between a custom object and standard object as long as the standard object is the master in the relationship.
Lookup Relationship (1:n):-Lookup relationships are used when you want to create a link between two objects, but without the dependency on the parent object. Similar to Master-Detail relationship, you can think of this as a form of parent-child relationship where there is only one parent, but many children i.e. 1:n relationship.The difference here is that despite being controlling field, deleting a record will not result in automatic deletion of the lookup field in the child object. Thus the records in the child object will not be affected and there is no cascade delete here. Neither will the child fields inherit the owner, sharing or security settings of its parent.
Junction Relationship (Many-To-Many):-This kind of a relationship can exist when there is a need to create two master-detail relationships. Two master-detail relationships can be created by linking 3 custom objects. Here, two objects will be master objects and the third object will be dependent on both the objects. In simpler words, it will be a child object for both the master objects.
12. What happens to detail record when a master record is deleted? What happens to child record when a parent record is deleted?
Answer : In a Master-Detail relationship, when a master record is deleted, the detail record is deleted automatically (Cascade delete).
In a Lookup relationship, even if the parent record is deleted, the child record will not be deleted.
13.Can you have a roll up summary field in case of Master-Detail relationship?
Answer : Yes. You can have a roll-up summary in case of a master-detail relationship. But not in case of a lookup relationship.
A roll-up summary field is used to display a value in a master record based on the values of a set of fields in a detail record. The detail record must be related to the master through a master-detail relationship.
There are 4 calculations that you can do using roll-up summary field. You can count the number of detail records related to a master record. Or, you can calculate the sum, minimum value, or maximum value of a field in the detail records
14.Explain the term “Data Skew” in Salesforce.
Answer : “Data skew” is a condition which you will encounter when working for a big client where there are over 10,000 records. When one single user owns that many records we call that condition ‘ownership data skew’.
When such users perform updates, performance issues will be encountered because of “data skew”. This happens when a single user/ members of a single role own most of the records for a particular object.
15. Explain skinny table. What are the considerations for Skinny Table?
Answer : In Salesforce, skinny tables are used to access frequently used fields and to avoid joins. This largely improves performance. Skinny tables are highly effective, so much so that even when the source tables are modified, skinny tables will be in sync with source tables.
Considerations for skinny tables:
Skinny tables can contain a maximum of 100 columns.
Skinny tables cannot contain fields from other objects.
For full sandboxes: Skinny tables are copied to your Full sandbox organizations, as of the Summer ’15 release.
16. Which fields are automatically Indexed in Salesforce?
Answer : Only the following fields are automatically indexed in Salesforce:
Primary keys (Id, Name and Owner fields).
Foreign keys (lookup or master-detail relationship fields).
Audit dates (such as SystemModStamp).
Custom fields marked as an External ID or a unique field.
17. How to handle comma within a field while uploading using Data Loader?
Answer : In a Data Loader .CSV, if there is a comma in field content, you will have to enclose the contents within double quotation marks: ” “.
18. For which criteria in workflow “
Answer :
19. What are the types of custom settings in Salesforce? What is the advantage of using custom settings?
Answer : There are two types of custom settings in Salesforce: List Custom Settings and Hierarchy Custom Settings.
List Custom Settings are a type of custom settings that provides a reusable set of static data that can be accessed across your organization irrespective of user/ profile.
Hierarchy Custom Settings are another type of custom settings that uses built-in hierarchical logic for “personalizing” settings for specific profiles or users.
The advantage of using custom settings is that it allows developers to create a custom set of access rules for various users and profiles.
20. How many active assignment rules can you have in a lead/ case?
Answer : Only one rule can be active at a time.
21. What are custom labels in Salesforce? What is the character limit of
Answer : Custom labels are custom text values that can be accessed from Apex classes or Visualforce pages. The values here can be translated into any language supported by Salesforce.
Their benefit is that they enable developers to create multilingual applications which automatically presents information in a user’s native language.
You can create up to 5,000 custom labels for your organization, and they can be up to 1,000 characters in length.
22. What is the difference between a Role and Profile in Salesforce?
Answer : As mentioned in one of the previous Salesforce interview questions, a profile will ultimately control access to which records a user has in a Salesforce
Role however is not mandatory for every user. The primary function of the Role/ Role hierarchy is that it allows higher level users in hierarchy get access to records owned by
23. What are the examples of non-deterministic Force.com formula fields?
Answer : Before I mention some of the examples, let me give you an introduction to deterministic and non-deterministic formula fields. Formula fields whose value will be static are referred to as deterministic fields. Whereas, formula fields whose value will be changed dynamically or whose values will have to be calculated on the fly, they are referred to as non-deterministic formula fields. A classic example of that is a formula returning the current date and time.
Some examples of non-deterministic fields in Force.com are:
Lookup fields
Formula fields whose reference spans over other entities
Fields having dynamic date functions like:- TODAY() or NOW()
24. Why do we need to write test classes? How to identify if a class is a test class?
Answer : Software developers from around the world will unanimously agree that writing code in test classes makes debugging more efficient. Why? That is because test classes help in creating robust and error-free code be it Apex or any other programming language. Since Unit tests are powerful in their own right, Salesforce requires you to write test classes in Apex code
Why are they so powerful? Because test classes and test methods verify whether a particular piece of code is working properly or not. If that piece of code fails, then developers/ testers can accurately locate the test class having the faulty bug.
Test classes can be determined easily because every test class will be annotated with @isTest keyword. In fact, if we do not annotate a test class with @isTest, then it cannot be defined as a test class. Similarly, any method within a class which has the keyword testMethod, is a test method.
25. What is minimum test coverage required for trigger to deploy?
Answer : In Salesforce, if you want to deploy your code to production, then you must make sure that at least 75% of your Apex code is covered by unit tests. And all these tests must complete successfully.
26. What are the different ways of deployment in Salesforce?
Answer : You can deploy code in Salesforce using:
Change Sets
Eclipse with Force.com IDE
Force.com Migration Tool – ANT/Java based
Salesforce Package
27. What is an external ID in Salesforce? Which all field data types can be used as external IDs?
Answer : An external ID is a custom field which can be used as a unique identifier in a record. External IDs are mainly used while importing records/ data. When importing records, one among the many fields in those records
An important point to note is that only custom fields can be used as External IDs. The fields that can be marked as external IDs
28. How many callouts to external service can be made in a single Apex transaction?
Answer : Governor limits will restrict a single Apex transaction to make a maximum of 100 callouts to an HTTP request or an API call.
29. How can you expose an Apex class as a REST
Answer : You can expose your Apex class and methods so that external applications can access your code and your application through the REST architecture. This is done by defining your Apex class with the @RestResource annotation to expose it as a REST resource. You can then use global classes and a
Invoking a custom Apex REST Web service method always uses system context. Consequently, the current user’s credentials are not used, and any user who has access to these methods can use their full power, regardless of permissions, field-level security, or sharing rules.
Developers who expose methods using the Apex REST annotations should
30. What is the difference between a standard controller and a custom controller?
Answer : Standard controller in Apex, inherits all the standard object properties and standard button functionality directly. It contains the same functionality and logic that are used for standard Salesforce pages.
Custom controller is an Apex class that implements all of the logic for a page without leveraging a standard controller. Custom Controllers are associated with Visualforce pages through the controller attribute.
31. How can we implement pagination in Visualforce?
32. How can you call a controller method from JavaScript?
33. How to get the UserID of all the currently logged in users using Apex code?
34. How many records can a select query return? How many records can a SOSL query return?
35. What is an attribute tag? What is the syntax for including them?
Note that you cannot define attributes with names like id or
36. What are the three types of bindings used in Visualforce? What does each refer to?
Data bindings, which refer to the data set in the controller
Action bindings, which refer to action methods in the controller
Component bindings, which refer to other Visualforce components.
Data bindings and Action bindings are the most common and they will be used in every Visualforce page.
37. What are the different types of collections in Apex? What are maps in Apex?
It is useful because Governor Limits restrict the number of records you can retrieve per transaction. Hence, collections can be used to store multiple records in a single variable defined as type collection and by retrieving data in the form of collections, Governor Limits will be in check. Collections are similar to how arrays work.
There are 3 collection types in Salesforce:
Lists
Maps
Sets
Maps are used to store data in the form of key-value pairs, where each unique key maps to a single value.
Syntax: Map<String, String> country_city = new Map<String, String>();
38. How can you embed a
From Setup, enter Flows in the Quick Find box, then select Flows.
Click the name of the flow.
Copy the unique name of the flow.
From Setup, enter Visualforce Pages in the Quick Find box, then select Visualforce Pages.
Define a new Visualforce page, or open an existing one.
Add the <flow:interview> component somewhere between the <apex:page> tags.
Set the name attribute to the unique name of the flow.
For example:
</apex:page>
<flow:interview name=”flowuniquename”/>
<apex:page>
Click Save.
Restrict which users can access the Visualforce page.
Click Visualforce Pages.
Click Security next to your Visualforce page.
Move all the appropriate profiles from Available Profiles to Enabled Profiles by using the ‘add’ and ‘remove’ buttons.
Click Save.
Add the Visualforce page to your Force.com app by using a custom button, link, or Visualforce tab.
39. What is the use of “@future” annotation?
For example, you can use it while making an asynchronous web service callout to an external service. Whereas without using the annotation, the web service callout is made from the same thread that is executing the Apex code, and no additional processing will occur until that callout is complete (synchronous processing).
40. What are the different methods of batch Apex class?
Answer : Database.Batchable interface contains three methods that must be implemented:
Start method:
global (Database.QueryLocator | Iterable<sObject>) start(Database.BatchableContext bc) {}
Execute method:
global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, list<P>){}
Finish method:
global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){}

56. What Are The Types of SOQL Statements in SalesForce?
There are 2 types of SOQL Statements.
Static SOQL
Dynamic SOQL
1.Static SOQL: The
Example:
String search for =’Jones’;
Contact[] contacts=[select testfield__c, FirstName, LastName from Contact Where Last Name=:search for];
Dynamic SOQL:
It is used to refer to the creation of a SOQL string at
Dynamic SOQL enables you to create
To create Dynamic SOQL query at
Return a single sObjects when the query returns a single record.
Return a list of
Examples:
Eg1:
String myTestString = ‘TestName’;
List List= Database.Query(SELECT Id FROM MyCustomObject__c WHERE Name = :myTestString);
Eg2:
String resolviedfield L = myvariable.field__c;
List L = Database.Query(‘SELECT Id FROM myCustomObject__c WHERE field__c = ‘+resolvedfield_L);
57. What is The Syntax of SOQL Statement?
Answer : SELECT field1, field2,…. FROM Object_Type [WHERE condition]
Example:
List accountList =
[SELECT ID, Name, FROM Account];
List accountList =
[SELECT ID, Name, FROM Account WHERE annual revenue<10000];
58. What is Apex Interface?
NOTE: Generally the interface methods we give it as global.
59. What is Batch Apex in Salesforce?
In the Batch Apex it will fetch all the records on which you want to perform the field update and divide them into
This would help us to execute on more than 10,000 records
Example:
If you need to make a field update of every record of account object in your organization, then we have governing limits that would restrict us from achieving the above task.
Reason: In a single transaction we can process only 10,000 records. Now in the above case if we have more than 10,000 records in the organization then we
60. What is Apex Scheduler?
Answer : It will
Anybody who want to schedule their class they have to implement
Schedule Interface:
The class that implements this interface can be scheduled to run at different intervals. This interface has several methods they are
Public void execute(
Example:
Public class mySchedule implements schedulable
{
Public void execute(
{
Account a = new Account(Name = ‘Faraz’)
Insert a;
}
}
61. What is the Apex Trigger in Salesforce?
Answer : Trigger is a Apex Code that executes before or after.
The following types of DML Operation:
Insert
Update
Delete
Merge
Upsert
Undelete
What are The Types of Apex Triggers in Salesforce?
Triggers Are divided into 2 types
Before Triggers
After Triggers
Before Triggers: Before Triggers can be used to update or validate values of a record before they are saved to the database.
After Triggers: After Triggers Before Triggers can be used to access field values of the records that are the stored in the database and use this values to make changes in other records.
Syntax:
Trigger trigger_name on Object_Name(trigger_events)
{
Code_block
}
WHERE trigger_events can be comma separated list of events.
62. What is Apex Managed Sharing?
Answer: Apex Managed Sharing provides developers with the ability to support an application to share a requirements.
This type of sharing available to only users with modify all data permissions. Only this users can add/change apex managed sharing.
Apex Managed Sharing uses a Sharing reason (Apex Sharing Reason)
63. GROUP BY?
Answer : With ApI version 18.0 and later /you can use group by with aggregate functions, such as sum() or max() to summarize the data and enable you to rollup query results rather than having to process the individual records in your code.
Syntax :
[ GROUP BY field GROUP BY LIST]
64. SOSL Statements In Salesforce Apex?
Answer : SOSL statement evaluate to a list of sobjects , where each list contains the search results for a particular sobject type, The result lists are always returned in the same order as they were specified in the query.
If a SOSL query does not return any records for a specified sObject type , the search results include an empty list for that sObject.
For example, you can return a list of accounts, contacts, opportunities and leds that begin with the phase map.
List < list < subject >> search list = [ find ‘map*’ In ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account (ID, Name), contact, opportunity, lead ];
Note :
The syntax of the classon Apex differs from the syntax of the FIND clause in the SOAP API.
In Apex, the value of the FIND cause is demarcated with single quotes.
Example:
FIND ‘map*’ IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING account (Id, Name], Contact, Opportunity, Lead.
In the Force.com API, the value of the FIND Clause is demarcated with braces.
For Example:
FIND {map*} IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING account [Id,name], contact ,opportunity,lead.
From search list , you can create arrays for each object returned.
Account [ ] accounts = (( list < accounts > ) search list [0] );
Contact [ ] contacts = [( list ) search list [0]) ;
Opportunity [ ] opportunities = ((list < opportunity> ) search list [2]) ;
Lead [ ] leads = (( list < lead> ) search list [3]);
65. Javascript remoting for apex controllers
Answer : Use javascript remoting in visualforce to call methods in apex controllers from javascript.
Javascript remoting has 3 parts.
The remote method invocation you add to the visualforce page, written in javascript.
The remote method definition in your Apex controller class.
This method definition is written in apex, but there are few differences from normal action methods.
The response handles callback function you add to or include in your vf page, written in javascript.
66. Adding javascript remoting to a vf page
Answer : To use javascript remoting in a vf page , add the request as a java script invocation with the following from.
[namespace.] controller.method (
[parameters….,]
Call back Function,
[configuration]
);
Name space is the namespace of the controller class
Controllers is the name of your apex controller.
Method is the name of your apex controller method you are calling.
Parameters is the comma-separated list of parameters that your method takes.
Callback function is the name of the javascript function that will handle the response from the controller.
Configuration configures the handling of remote call and response.
67. What is the main difference between using data table vs .page block table tags?
Answer : PageBlock: For default salesforce standard format.
Data table: To design custom formats

86. What is a “Self Relationship”?
Answer: Self Relationship is a lookup relationship to the same object. Suppose let’s take an object “Merchandise”. Here we can create relationship in between the Account to Account (same object) object. That is called “Self Relationship”.
87. What are the main things need to consider in the “Master-Detail Relationship”?
Answer: Record level access is determined by the parent, Mandatory on child for reference of parent, cascade delete (if you delete the parent, it can cascade delete the child).
88. What is a Wrapper class?
Answer: A Wrapper class is a class whose instances are collection of other objects.
It is used to display different objects on a VF (Visual Force) page in same table.
89. What is difference insert() and database .insert() ?
Answer: Using insert method we can insert the records but if any error occurs in any record system will throw an error insertion fail and none of the records are inserted.If we want to execute partially success of bulk insert operation we will use database .insert.
90. What are Static Resources?
Answer: Using Static Resources we can upload images, zip files, jar files, javascript and CSS files that can be referred in a visual force page.
The maximum size of Static Resources for an organization is 250mB.
91. How to call javascript using Static Resource in Visual Force page?
Answer : Add java script file in Static Resource setup -> develop -> Static Resources -> click on ‘New’ -> Name: filename and add file from local desktop and save.
We can use that file as follows in Visual Force page
92. What is sharing rule?
Answer: If we want to give access to other users we use sharing rules.
93. Can report data be accessed programmatically?
Answer: Update for Winter ’14 API:
I think the biggest announcement that developers have been waiting for API wise is the availability of our Analytics API. We introduced a limited pilot in summer 13 and now the Analytics REST API is generally available. The Analytics API lets you integrate Salesforce report data into your apps programmatically and has several resources that let you query metadata, and record details.
Source – Winter 14 Developer Preview
94. Is there a defacto 3rd party utilities library for Apex such as Apache Commons is for Java?
Answer: Apex-lang is about as close to a Java-style library as you can get. Contains several string, database, and collection utilities that mimmick Java functionality. Be aware though, some stuff including Comparing and Sorting collections is out of date with the advent of the Comparable interface in Apex.In addition to apex-lang, and like you suggest, I typically create or reuse static helper methods throughout my projects. Static helper methods are very convenient for reusing code in Chatter functionality, DML handling, Exception handling, Unit testing, etc.
95. What are the implications of implementing Database. Stateful?
Answer: Daniel Ballinger: No, batches do not ever run simultaneously. You are correct, however, that serialization is the culprit here.
grigriforce: what’s your batch size? If you’re doing a million records, and your batch size is 1, then you will serialize/deserialize your state 1M times. Even with a small serialized object, that’s gonna hurt.
96. What are the recommended ways to refactor in Apex?
Answer: I use the second method. After refactoring, I select the ‘src’ folder, use File Search/Replace and all the changes are made and saved to the server in one go.
97. Grammar for creating an Apex parser
Answer: Keep an eye on Apex tooling api, which is used in Developer console. This is supposed to be released to public access soon.
98. Detect the current LoggingLevel in Apex
