For organizations that rely on Salesforce for their day-to-day operations, a reliable testing strategy is arguably as important as the software itself. Organizations in all industries know that testing their Salesforce environment helps to ensure smooth operations and maintain data integrity. But many teams lack coding backgrounds, and traditional Salesforce testing methods often require expert-level programming skills. 

Fortunately, there are tools, solutions, and strategies available that empower teams to effectively test their Salesforce ecosystems without writing a single line of code. In today’s blog, we’ll explore some of these approaches, and highlight how Provar Automation can help transform Salesforce testing for teams lacking technical experience.

The Importance of Salesforce Testing 

Salesforce is a powerful platform that helps organizations across industries with a wide variety of operational processes. With three major releases per year and frequent smaller updates, Salesforce is known for its complexity. So, regular Salesforce testing is critical to verify that functionality, customizations, and integrations are working as expected. Testing helps to identify issues, bugs, and breaks early and before they negatively impact user experience or business operations. But traditional manual testing is time-consuming and prone to human error, and many automated testing tools require extensive development knowledge. 

Essential Features for Low-Code Salesforce Testing Solutions

If your team lacks technical expertise but needs to find a Salesforce testing tool, it’s essential to look for features that cater to non-coders. Key features to look for include: 

User-Friendly Interface

An intuitive, easy-to-use interface is essential for users without coding backgrounds. Simple point-and-click functionality should allow users to create, modify, and manage test cases without writing code.

Defined Test Components and Templates

Pre-built test components and templates can significantly accelerate test cycles and reduce bugs and breaks. Pre-defined test components should enable users to set up repeatable test cases for common scenarios and should cover a variety of features and functionalities.

Visual Test Builders

With visual test builders, non-technical users can design and visualize test flows with ease. Visual test builders help non-coders understand and organize test cases logically, making the testing process more efficient and accessible. 

Seamless Salesforce Integration

A good automated testing solution will seamlessly integrate with Salesforce, supporting custom objects, complex Salesforce features like Lightning components, Visualforce pages, and adjacent applications to ensure comprehensive test coverage. 

Robust Reporting and Analytics

Detailed analytics and robust, real-time reporting are essential for tracking testing results, identifying issues, and understanding test results. Non-technical team members should be able to generate, read, and interpret reports without issue.

Exceptional Training and Customer Support

The best automated testing tool for non-technical users will include extensive training opportunities and exceptional customer support. When teams can upskill while they integrate a new automation solution, everyone in the organization wins.
