Definitely prefer creating data with Test.loadData() over manual methods.

Wait, can you really use Anonymous Apex for this? Sounds risky!

Verlene 12 months ago

Using static resources for Test.loadData() is pretty neat!

Disagree, SOQL queries can be more flexible.

I think Test.loadData() with a CSV is the way to go!

Using Anonymous Apex to create data sounds familiar, but I thought it was more for quick tests rather than structured ones.

I feel like Test.loadData() with a static resource could be a good way to ensure consistent test data, but I can't recall the specifics.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think using SOQL to query existing data might not be the best choice for tests since it relies on org data.

I remember practicing with Test.loadData() and using a CSV file for bulk data creation. It seems like a solid option here.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the base station needs a clock source, but I'm not sure which state it would be in if it lost that. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm not sure about this one. There are a lot of different approaches outlined here, and I'm not sure which one is the "best" according to TOGAF 9. I might need to review the TOGAF principles a bit more to decide which option aligns best with the framework.

I kind of remember thinking C was true at one point, but I think I learned that's incorrect since ether can be sent without a function call if the fallback is set right.

I've got a good feeling about option D. Switches send syslog messages directly to the destinations, right? That makes the most sense to me.
