Tricentis Testim Salesforce: Fast, low-code automation built for Salesforce

Today we are excited to announce Tricentis Testim Salesforce! Testim Salesforce extends Tricentis Testim’s robust AI-powered test automation to the Salesforce application. Incorporating proven functionality from Tricentis Test Automation (TTA) for Salesforce, Testim Salesforce helps application development teams author tests faster, leverage pre-built test steps for common Salesforce operations, and reduce maintenance using Salesforce metadata-driven locators.

Incomplete Salesforce testing creates business risk

Inadequate Salesforce testing leaves organizations open to the possibility of critical bugs within business processes that could impact operations, customers, and your business reputation. But development teams today are faced with unique challenges when it comes to Salesforce testing.

• Customized environments: Salesforce environments are rarely standard or out-of-the-box. Each organization’s unique business processes lead to customized Salesforce environments and third-party tool integrations that require regular updates and maintenance.
• Frequent updates: Salesforce releases a new version three times a year, potentially introducing major capabilities that could cause problems with processes. Internally, developers may choose to release updates and new customizations with each sprint. Salesforce administrators could also be making daily changes.
• Skills requirements: Some organizations rely on an open-source solution like Selenium, which requires that testers have a technical coding skillset. These solutions limit which team members can contribute to Salesforce quality, increasing the time, complexity, and effort needed to adequately test a custom Salesforce environment.
• Inadequate strategy: Even with frequent updates and customizations on the table, many organizations lack a well-defined or Salesforce testing strategy. Instead, they often rely on ad-hoc or manual approaches to “try out” updates before releasing to their users. Others incorrectly conclude that Salesforce’s own internal testing processes limit their risk — even within their customized Salesforce environments.

Tricentis Test Automation for Salesforce is now Testim Salesforce

Testim Salesforce adds low-code testing for custom Salesforce environments to Testim’s AI-powered test automation portfolio. With Testim Salesforce, applications can be tested more easily, even by less-technical testers. Testim Salesforce offers:

• Low-code test authoring: Click through your applications using recorder-based test authoring to create better tests and achieve coverage faster and more easily without the need for technical coding experience.
• Pre-built test steps: Use out-of-the-box test components to more quickly build tests for many familiar Salesforce operations including Record Creation, Lead Conversion, Related Lists, Quick Actions, and more.

• Early testing for releases: Eliminate the risk of issues when promoting your environment to the latest Salesforce release. Testim Salesforce pre-built test steps are tested against pre-releases to ensure your tests and customizations remain stable across Salesforce releases. Testim Salesforce also allows teams to connect to multiple environments and reuse existing tests to identify and fix any issues before moving to the latest release.
• Optimized for Salesforce Lightning: Identify dynamic elements used by Salesforce Lightning using metadata to simplify test creation, reduce maintenance, and future-proof against regression errors.

New codeless testing capabilities drive efficiency

Testim Salesforce also delivers several new codeless test steps that make it even easier to test complex operations out of the box without the need for customized scripting.

Codeless process automation testing with Salesforce Flow

With Salesforce Flow, organizations reduce tedious, repetitive manual processes and tasks. Utilities like Flow Builder and Flow Orchestration make it possible to automate complex processes through a simplified point-and-click interface — without coding. Salesforce itself also recommends that its users migrate their automation to Flow Builder by 2025, making Salesforce Flow testing even more critical.

Testim Salesforce delivers a new no-code test step to automate the testing of Salesforce Flows. There is no need for test recording or scripting; simply configure checks at each Salesforce Flow screen. These pre-built steps reduce manual effort and errors and make it easier to automate testing of these complex workflows.

Automated PDF and Microsoft document verification

Typically, ensuring that all fields in a document like a purchase order are correct involves customized scripting and manual testing. Complex structures like tables make it hard to test these documents in an automated fashion. Now, Testim Salesforce leverages machine learning to automate this process without the need for any code. Simplify and reduce the time needed to verify complex tables, key-value pairs, and other structures automatically.

One-step picklist testing

The Verify Picklist codeless test step makes it easy to validate options in a picklist. What would previously have taken multiple iterations can now be accomplished in a single step, greatly reducing the time and effort to ensure that correct fields are displayed. This feature flexibly supports whether an option is displayed in the picklist, not displayed in the picklist, or an exact match of options is displayed.

Test without limits to deliver high quality

Testim Salesforce ensures you are never limited by the number of monthly test runs or fixed set of users. You get unlimited monthly runs and unlimited user seats, with pricing based on the number of tests you need to run in parallel. Testim Salesforce provides the scalability and flexibility to help you deliver applications with high quality.

Testim: A unified platform for development teams

Testim provides a single platform for the test automation needs of product development teams. Whether web, mobile, or Salesforce applications, Testim provides a consistent low-code test authoring experience that makes it easier for testers at all levels of technical experience to quickly create robust tests to achieve greater coverage and release higher-quality applications.
