Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Platform Architect Sample Questions:
1. An operations team is analyzing the effort needed to set up monitoring of their application network. They are looking at which API invocation metrics can be used to identify and predict trouble without having to write custom scripts or install additional analytics software or tools.
Which type of metrics can satisfy this goal of directly identifying and predicting failures?
A) The number and types of past API invocations across the application network
B) The number and types of API policy violations per day
C) The ROI from each APT invocation
D) The effectiveness of the application network based on the level of reuse
2. What CANNOT be effectively enforced using an API policy in Anypoint Platform?
A) Backend system overloading
B) Guarding against Denial of Service attacks
C) Logging HTTP requests and responses
D) Maintaining tamper-proof credentials between APIs
3. Which scenario is suited for MUnit tests instead of integration tests?
A) When no mocking is permissible
B) For tests that are implemented using SoapUI
C) When testing does not require knowledge of implementation details
D) For read-only interactions to any dependencies (such as other web APIs)
4. An API has been updated in Anypoint Exchange by its API producer from version 3.1.1 to 3.2.0 following accepted semantic versioning practices and the changes have been communicated via the API's public portal.
The API endpoint does NOT change in the new version.
How should the developer of an API client respond to this change?
A) The API client code ONLY needs to be changed if it needs to take advantage of new features
B) The update should be identified as a project risk and full regression testing of the functionality that uses this API should be run
C) The API producer should be contacted to understand the change to existing functionality
D) The API producer should be requested to run the old version in parallel with the new one
5. An organization has several APIs that accept JSON data over HTTP POST. The APIs are all publicly available and are associated with several mobile applications and web applications.
The organization does NOT want to use any authentication or compliance policies for these APIs, but at the same time, is worried that some bad actor could send payloads that could somehow compromise the applications or servers running the API implementations.
What out-of-the-box Anypoint Platform policy can address exposure to this threat?
A) Shut out bad actors by using HTTPS mutual authentication for all API invocations
B) Apply an IP blacklist policy to all APIs; the blacklist will Include all bad actors
C) Apply a Header injection and removal policy that detects the malicious data before it is used
D) Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors
