At Provar, we aim to support you on your expedition to quality. We know that in today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses need efficient, integrated, and reliable solutions to ensure their software meets the highest quality standards. Our suite of low-code solutions empowers organizations to transform their testing, improve quality, and drive innovation.
Since 2014, our flagship product, Provar Automation, has led end-to-end testing for Salesforce and has set the stage for our growth and success. But as so many things have changed since then, Automation itself has had quite the” glow-up.”
In this blog post, we’ll explore the latest-and-greatest about Provar Automation — its user roles, integrations, product support/training, and why it’s the ideal choice for elevating your software quality.
Product Overview
Provar Automation is a comprehensive testing automation platform that empowers organizations to streamline their testing processes and enhance software quality.
Other test automation solutions on the market rely on traditional test-building methods that are susceptible to frequent changes and require extensive maintenance (i.e., tests built on unstable HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and DOM-based approaches).
Provar Automation stands out by leveraging the power of Salesforce’s metadata to build more resilient tests. We employ stable locators for elements found by leveraging Salesforce’s metadata model. This helps Automation to understand the location of elements so it can automatically update its locators when Salesforce’s metadata changes.
The only quality solution designed specifically for Salesforce, Automation was developed around our four pillars: resilience, intuitiveness, security, and end-to-end. Automation offers many features and benefits designed to make testing more efficient and effective.
The Four Pillars of Provar Automation:
- Resilient: Automation keeps your team’s test up to date with every Salesforce release and maintains compatibility with the latest web browser updates.
- Intuitive: Automation empowers teams to start quickly and build test cases in just a few clicks with a simple, user-friendly design.
- Secure: Automation mitigates risks to your organization, finding setup errors, password management holes, and insecure storage settings.
- End-to-end: Automation tests your entire organization’s flow from end-to-end in Salesforce and beyond.
