Exam Certified Business Analyst topic 1 question 52 discussion

The BA should use version control to identify metadata dependencies across features to prevent overwriting before the release. Setup Audit Trail is used to track changes to Salesforce data and metadata. However, it does not provide a way to identify dependencies between features. Change Sets are used to bundle metadata changes and move metadata between Salesforce orgs. However, they do not provide a way to track dependencies between features. Version control is a system that tracks changes to code and other files. This allows the BA to identify dependencies between features and prevent overwriting changes before the release. Suucre- Bard

I think the part to take note of is the fact that the question says there are 2 features being developed & they want to prevent Overwriting. Version control would be the correct answer based on this part https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/git-and-git-hub-basics/learn-why-version-control-is-important-for-team-based-development Also while you can use change sets to identify metadata dependencies, I would argue its mostly for dependencies where one or more components must exist for another component to exist/work properly.

version control

This question is quite confusing and prompted me to do more research. Since the BA is working with the technical team in the current sprint to identity the metadata dependencies, I think Version Control (C) is the most appropriate tool to use. Reasons: Change sets can take a while to create as components are added manually. Meaning dependencies are not immediately visible. Deployment errors are also common and can be time consuming to fix. Whereas Version Control Integrates with your favourite hosting provider such as GitHub, to have full visibility into what was changed, why, when, and by whom.

In this scenario, the business analyst needs to manage metadata dependencies across features to prevent overwriting before the release. Change sets are used to bundle metadata changes and move metadata between Salesforce orgs. By using change sets, the BA can ensure that metadata changes are tracked and managed between features, preventing accidental overwriting of metadata. Setup Audit Trail is a feature that allows you to see changes that have been made to your org's setup and metadata. Version control is a method of managing changes to documents, code, or other files over time. While version control can be used to track changes to metadata in Salesforce, change sets are the best option for managing dependencies between metadata changes in different features.

Checking metadata dependencies shouldn't be a business analyst work. I would not even assign it to point-and-click admins. Metadata dependencies in change set and "where is this used?" button on some metadata cannot be trusted 100%.

Shouldn't it be B because the question states "metadata"?
