After clearing Application Architect track last month, I continued my flow and started preparing for System Architect track. Today I cleared Development Lifecycle & Deployment Designer exam 😄😎
The exam was easiest of all the designer exams for me. My experience helped me big time for this feeling. Though I studied as per the Resource Guide and blogs, I felt due to experience I was able to answer various questions.
Like other blogs I have written, I am not going write in detail for each topic, rather I will point out to the blogs I have referred and the topics I noted post the exam.

- Blog by Gemma. She has done wonderful job in covering the topics with neat explanation, sharing her experience on the exams in each of her blogs.
- Nicholas, in his blog, has given excellent explanation to various topics covered in the exam. Definitely 'worth' reading it 😋
- Development Lifecycle Guide is a MUST read in my opinion. I am guessing it covers majority of the topics. Its a nice refresher too.
Topics I noted post the exam (please refer to Study Guide and read the topics I might have missed):
- Types of sandboxes - there were good number of questions with different scenarios. Pretty straight forward if you know the usage of each type of sandbox
- External objects & Salesforce Connect - know its capabilities, deploying them, reporting on them, etc.
- Continuous Integration - best practices around branching, know how it works
- Change Sets - what happens during deployment (what gets locked)
- Difference in Waterfall & Agile methodologies
- Tools/matrices - RTM, RACI - if you are part of project management/planning its easy peasy, otherwise read and understand about it
- Various types of testing and when to use it - stress testing, load testing, performance testing
- Usage of Apex Hammer.
