MB-500 study plan

Set up a cloud-hosted development environment and provision a Tier-1 VM with an updated platform and application version.

Create a new model, project, and package inside a solution, then export the solution as a deployable file.

Trace a business requirement from a conceptual design note into a named AOT object list and an estimated build sequence.

Configure version control integration and demonstrate a check-out/check-in cycle with a code review request.

Build a table with a natural and surrogate key, an index, a relation, and a delete action, then validate it with a browser-based table record.

Extend an existing table and form through a table extension and a form extension without over-layering.

Create an enumeration, an extended data type, and a label file, and wire them into the new table.

Author a security role, duty, and privilege set that grants access to the new objects.

Create a form with a grid, a details FastTab, and a button that calls an action menu item bound to a class.

Write a Chain of Command extension on an existing class method and on a form data source method, with a pre/post condition guard.

Implement a batch job class with SysOperation and run it end to end from the batch processing form.

Write a unit test class that exercises the new business logic with at least three assertions.

Write X++ that uses a transaction scope, a try/catch with an infolog, and a rollback on a validation failure.

Implement a set-based data operation and a record-by-record loop, then compare their execution plans using trace output.

Add an event handler subscriber for a standard table and a standard form event, and confirm it fires.

Refactor a duplicated method into a shared class and prove behavior is unchanged with the existing test suite.

Run the SysTest suite for the custom model and record any failures against the baseline.

Apply a performance tuning pass: fix a set-based query, add a covering index, and cache a repeated lookup.

Configure a role-based security model and verify field-level access with two test users of different roles.

Diagnose a slow form load using the trace parser and document the root cause.

Build a data entity over the custom table and expose it through an OData endpoint.

Implement a composite data entity and a staging table pattern for an import scenario.

Write a DIXF-style import that loads a CSV of test records and handles a duplicate-key error gracefully.

Create an integration using a service class and a JSON contract, and validate it with a simple console client or Postman-style call.

Modify an existing SSRS report by extending its data provider and controller class, and deploy it to the dev environment.

Design a financial or operational report with a parameter-driven query and a drill-through action.

Create a workspace or dashboard tile that surfaces the report data.

Publish a Power BI or embedded report consuming a data entity with row-level security honored.

Complete a full-length timed practice assessment and score each domain separately.

Re-review every objective in the two lowest-scoring domains and close gaps with hands-on labs.

Rehearse the end-to-end lifecycle: build, deploy, test, and troubleshoot one custom feature from scratch.

Consolidate notes into a one-page architecture summary covering environments, ALM, and security model.
