A large retail customer is building their ecommerce platform on AEM. Several third-party vendors sell products through their site. Those vendors need to review and verify the content close to production before the content goes live and the customer wants to provide them a restricted environment.
Which approach should the Architect recommend?
A client publishes content by a tree activation, which frequently invalidates the page cache in short succession. This causes the visitors to almost always hit an empty cache. The implementation uses a .stat file for invalidation. The client wants to delay the invalidation of cached pages while the publishing is in progress, so that the cached files are served until the invalidation completes. Which AEM dispatcher's feature can the architect propose to delay cache invalidation?

Which two types of testing should the architect prioritize next to ensure a seamless transition to AEMaaCS? (Choose two.)
