One wrong move can be haunting when testing your Salesforce environment and attempting to keep quality as high as possible for an optimal end-user experience. Most testers have probably experienced a testing nightmare or two, which can be as spooky as making your way through a dark stretch of woods on Halloween night!
Without the proper precautions in place, surprises can lurk in every corner. From sudden updates wreaking havoc to the inefficiencies of managing extensive testing processes, these scenarios can send chills down the spine of even the most seasoned Salesforce professionals.
However, like using garlic to ward off vampires, the proper solutions can protect your Salesforce environment from these hair-raising experiences! In this chilling blog post, we’re diving headfirst into three bone-chilling scenarios and the remedies that can help you rest easy. Happy Halloween!
The Ghostly Salesforce Update that Breaks Your Automated Tests
Imagine waking up to a company-wide panic because a routine Salesforce update has rendered your Salesforce-hosted app nonfunctional. This nightmare becomes a reality when the existing automated tests you thought were resilient break, leaving your team scrambling to fix the issues.
However, if you had been using Provar Automation, this eerie experience could have been avoided. Unlike traditional test automation solutions, Provar Automation leverages Salesforce’s metadata to create robust tests resistant to sudden changes. By understanding the application’s structure through metadata and building its tests using more stable locators than DOM-based approaches, Provar Automation ensures that tests remain stable, reducing maintenance efforts and allowing teams to focus on critical functionalities. With its ability to adapt to Salesforce’s frequent updates and customizations, Provar Automation is a shield against the haunting prospect of test failures.
The Mysterious Testing Landscape Scattered in the Dark
Navigating through an unorganized testing landscape can feel like stumbling through a dark forest with no clear path. Planning and executing tests become a nightmare without a unified view of your testing processes. Talk about a house of mirrors!
Consider Provar Manager, the friendly horseman guiding you home (head intact!). This solution offers a comprehensive view of your entire QA landscape within and outside of Salesforce. As the command center for all QA activities, the Provar Manager streamlines test planning, execution, and documentation, ensuring a cohesive and efficient testing process. The Provar Manager eliminates the chaotic elements that plague testing procedures by providing a centralized hub for managing test plans and activities. This allows teams to navigate the testing maze with clarity and precision.
The Terrifying Regression Pack that Never Seems to Stop Multiplying
Managing a massive 500-test regression pack across multiple browsers and devices can be daunting, like facing an oncoming army of zombies. With the need to test across various browsers, operating systems, and devices, the testing workload multiplies exponentially, casting a shadow of inefficiency over the entire testing process. Eek!
However, Provar Grid comes to the rescue, enabling parallel testing to drastically slash testing timelines. By leveraging the power of the cloud and parallelization, Provar Grid empowers users to execute tests across different platforms simultaneously, reducing the time and resources needed for comprehensive testing. With its ability to create temporary environments and facilitate parallel execution, Provar Grid is a powerful weapon against the ghastly challenges of extensive testing, allowing teams to conquer the testing abyss with speed and efficiency.

Keep Provar Automation, Provar Manager, and Provar Grid in your bag of tricks to guard against familiar testing haunts.
