How to Make Sure Salesforce Test Automation Actually Works?

Across the globe, Salesforce is appreciated for it’s the ability to deliver change fast. Any organization on Salesforce benefits from its fast delivery cycle support and continuous improvement. Its three new releases each year and a large set of tools make it easy to develop new features or deploy Salesforce’s new ones. However, there’s one part of the delivery cycle that’s unyielding and is resilient to speed: testing. Although agile may have increased the speed of your team’s delivery cycle, however, you can’t speed up your manual testers.

In fact, at some point, everyone has faced these issues with manual Salesforce testing:

A poor release that has dented revenue, profits and even reputation;

Low-quality practices that aren't a current issue, but could become a huge challenge if the status quo isn't changed;

Apps built by a diverse team of developers are causing conflicts in production;

The Issues with Manual (only) Salesforce testing.

Time: Extensive tests take days if not weeks, and time is a significant constraint.

Coverage: Even the most careful manual testers can't test every inch of the test case in the given time.

Accuracy: Every customized system has many moving parts, even the most advanced manual testing program cannot adequately check for every possible regression that may creep up as the code base grows.

Why is Salesforce Test Automation Considered Complex?

Salesforce Test Automation is considered more complicated because Salesforce is integrated with other applications in the following ways:

Data Loader

Security

Web Service API

Real-time and batch outbound messaging

Apex Custom Web Services

Social Media

Builder

Apex Callouts

We all know that Test automation can improve the development process of a software product and also reduce costs, but with Salesforce Test Automation, automating the test cases will initially cost more to implement as compared to the manual testing. However, with the right Salesforce Testing Tools, automation strategy and implementation, the ROI can easily pay off.

Why is Salesforce Automated Testing a Better Idea? Today, most enterprise Salesforce customers are moving towards test automation. Mainly because it reduces time, cost, efforts and makes testing more reliable. Salesforce test automation reduces manual testing effort by taking care of those tests that need to be run regularly. Once the automation is set up, the repetitive tests start to run themselves. This gives manual testers the time to conduct more creative, and exploratory testing that brings in more value. Why wasn’t Salesforce Test Automation Conducted Earlier? Now coming to the crucial question, if Salesforce Test Automation is beneficial, then why is this trend only just emerging? Well, in the past, the options for Salesforce test automation were meager and not-so-good. Traditional test automation demanded a developer to write tests in code, using a framework like Selenium. The developer would begin this process by ‘teaching’ that framework the related Salesforce concepts, like page layouts and validation rules. Then start to write, design and execute their tests through code. Owing to this, even a small change to the system under test would need a corresponding code update; else the tests could break. So, the more updates you made to Salesforce, the more updates you’d need to make in the code. Therefore, today’s new and improved Salesforce Testing Tools have made automation much simpler. Salesforce test automation hasn’t been embraced until now due to the lack of useful tools. Until recently, there weren’t sound tools that could provide script-less test automation for Salesforce. Besides, all of them were dependent on manual testers, and admin-friendly tools didn’t exist. This has now changed with the addition of breakthrough Salesforce Testing Tools.

The New Partner for Agile Development- Agile Automation Testing

The world of technology has seen some significant advancements in software development. When speaking of development, the role of testing cannot be ignored. Therefore, to support the pace of the latest software development technologies, testing is required to be done in-sprint, bringing out the need for agile testing.

Imagine a scenario where a product like Salesforce needs to be built. The product has 1000 features, and requires a new feature release once-a-month to keep up with the competitors. Now imagine testing this product- to check if new features have not affected old features and every feature is functioning correctly. This is where Agile Development Testing was adopted. However, the tight deadlines posed a challenge to this process. Imagine testing all 1000 features within a week! Seems impossible, right? That’s what enterprise developers thought as well. To make this process flow smoother, Agile Test Automation was introduced.  

How Agile Automation Testing Helps? The process of testing needs to be accelerated to achieve quick deployment. Let’s take an example of an application developed.  After the first build, the app is deployed into the market. Later it is updated, and with every update, new features are added to the application. So, the application will be deployed yet again with every new feature being tested along with the older ones. With so many features it is not possible to test every functionality manually. This is where agile test automation came to the rescue.

With effective tools, Agile Automation Testing can make testing lightning fast. These tools need a test case to be developed according to the requirements of the application to be tested. These test cases can then be run several times while delivering continuous builds. This process ensures that every step taken along the way is bug-free or if by chance a bug is introduced, then it is easily identified at the same stage where it entered the program.

In which Scenarios should Automation be Introduced to Agile Development Testing? •    When the test cases are very complex and cannot be performed manually; •    When the same test case is to be repeated; •    When the test cases need to be run several times with different data and conditions; •    When execution of the same test cases is required with different user sets; •    When saving time is a top priority; •    When test cases are needed to be executed with multiple browsers and environments.

How has Agile Test Automation transformed the process of Agile Testing? •    Re-usability: Once a script is developed, it can be used multiple times. Different updates can also be made to the same script to suit the latest user requirements. •    Speed: Automating testing introduces speed to agile development. •    ROI: Although the initial investment cost may seem high, the advantages and ROI is both quicker and higher as compared to manual agile testing. •    Reliability: By using scripts for testing, reliability is drastically increased. •    Simultaneity: The same script can run on multiple devices.

Owing to the advantages it offers, automation is a blessing in Agile Development Testing.  Most of the challenges faced in Agile Testing can be overcome quite easily by using Agile Test Automation.

Creating Breakthrough Solutions: What Customers Really Want?

I believe, one of the most important aspects for the success of any product is the product-market-fit. I’ve seen many great products fail miserably in achieving commercial success because they don’t solve some of the important customer pain-points. Paul Graham aptly said, “The most common mistake companies make is to solve problems no one has.” And, of course there could be several other reasons for such failures, despite it being a great product, but that’s not what I‘d like to focus on here. While I don’t have a silver bullet and neither do I claim that these have always worked for me but, here are some excellent practices I’ve seen product teams following and they might just work for you:

Customer-Driven Innovation For one of the new products we’d launched in the enterprise security space, our team followed this unique approach of signing up potential end-users, understanding their complete job in terms of their day-to-day activities, mapping each of them in the product capabilities and then coming up with the overall functionality for the product. This was a great learning experience. We often tend to focus on one great feature and get overly excited about it. Understanding what the users need to perform their job, and not just one great feature, was a big revelation into the overall value we were bringing to the table.

Joint Development Partners It’s one thing to have ‘domain experts’ advising you on your product strategy and completely another thing to have real users and their decision makers sweating it out with you in trying to achieve a common goal of creating value. Nothing beats the beta users who are highly motivated in installing the product in their environment and giving you the much-needed critical feedback. You should feel lucky if you have some, especially if it’s an enterprise product.

Despite all the ways mentioned here, especially for enterprise software products, we end up getting brand new requirements for that one big deal, for which we need to respond quickly. This is where the last point matters.

Release Early, Release Often: A lot has been said on this topic. But how often do we effectively implement it? We all want to get our product out in the field doing wonders for our customers as early as possible and get back to us to communicate improvement areas. But then the strong urge to release that perfect product dotting all the I’s and crossing all the T’s keeps us from releasing that so-called imperfect version. Very few teams can overcome the dilemma and have the courage to leap and very often, I have seen them win.

Agile Development, Continuous Testing and Smart Automation Despite all the precautions and planning, there are always bigger, unexpected opportunities that keep knocking the door. If the engineering is not willing or ill-equipped to respond quickly, the opportunities are lost in no time. Change is the only constant and being agile is the only way to survive. Your response time is always an indicator of how mature and innovative your development processes are. Do focus on them. They will come in handy someday!

The Fast and Functional- Ways to Accelerate Test Automation

Today, technology by itself isn’t the need of the hour. Delivering solutions at the right time is the real game changer. Keeping that in mind, most of the industry has already taken steps to fasten this process: embracing agile development, automating the delivery pipeline, etc. However, this isn’t enough. Business demands more software ever so often and needs it to be made available as fast as possible. So, what can be done to live up to the market’s ever-changing expectations concerning solutions and the time-to-market?

Shift Left A study conducted by SQS revealed that 56% of defects originated during the requirement phase of the project. This being an incredibly high percentage, led to the adoption of the shift-left model. This approach focuses on quality from the very beginning of the project. As a result, it leads to an improvement in the ability to detect and rectify defects as and when they occur. In turn, all this results in reducing time-to-market.

Get organized Even though this doesn’t seem necessary and not a day-to-day priority, keeping your tests organized will help streamline and speed up the process for you in the future. Keep your test cases clean and reusable and automate features at the unit level. Following good test management methods is essential. Further on, securing accurate data, and maintaining clean automation reports will make it easier for your team to run tests whenever required.

Automate the Right Way It is common knowledge that automating tests makes things exponentially faster and simple. However, not many seem to be aware that automating the wrong test cases slows down the progress. Exploratory testing is required for new test cases and doing it at the beginning itself will save you the headache of going back and doing it later after you’ve already tried to automate it. Therefore, before you start running them, understanding the best cases to automate will prevent you from wasting time.

Go Script-less Adopting script-less automation will allow you to take advantage of your existing functional testers by not making them learn new scripting languages, thereby speeding up the process. Script-less automation tools will help you leverage your existing domain experts.

Using Parallel Testing Automation gets the required boost with parallel testing, as it allows different tests to run simultaneously. If you can understand the importance of the same tests across devices, multiple browsers, and operating systems, you can also see the benefit of doing this all at once with parallel testing rather than running the script repeatedly on different configurations.

Balancing quality and speed isn’t something that happens overnight, it’s something you will learn better along the way. The strategies mentioned above will help you in working towards faster test automation.

The Ploy in Deployment

Over the years a lot has been done to enhance the control and efficiency of application development processes. From agile development to change management solutions based on ISO and ITIL standards, the progress has been remarkable. However, like everything else, this too has a downside. They say that every cloud has a silver lining, but in the world of technology, this silver lining is likely to affect the functionality of the cloud. The increase in the use of agile development has aggravated the pressure IT organizations face in deploying new applications.

Each new enterprise application brings in several diverse application components spread across numerous environments, including application servers, desktops, Web servers, mobile devices, databases, etc. Also, most large organizations have different departments handling each of these functions, and the potential product users are often not in control of the timelines. Besides, since security and compliance requirements put a lot of burden on the IT teams, companies adopt a "better safe than sorry" approach and discourage employees from easily getting new applications or their versions. For the product vendor, the total cost of support is directly proportional to the number of older versions out there in the field.

Although the vendor is not in control of the organization’s processes, they can certainly make the process of deployment simple enough to ensure it doesn’t add any further delays. So, what can be done to facilitate the process of product deployment? Well, the process must start from the start. If you’re designing an application for large enterprises, then a lot of aspects need to be taken care of. These can make or break the time-to-value of the product. I’ve compiled a list of all my learning over the years, which I have seen work most of the times.

Product Architecture

A typical enterprise application should be designed in a way that client deployments, server deployments, network permissions, database creation/access are segregated as functionalities which can be performed by different roles. Don’t assume the user of your product to have these roles within the organization. For example, databases in many large organizations are centrally managed. Creating a database can be potentially done through a ticketing system rather than through your product. Make sure you handle it.

Product Documentation & Support

Product documentation should have role wise information so that it’s easy for your users to understand which departments they need to talk to for prerequisites before they even get to the deployment. Also, your product support team should be fully-equipped to handle the prerequisites required for each department with good reasoning. Be prepared to answer tough security review questions, if you expect too liberal access privileges through your product.

Sales process

Understanding what the client wants to achieve with the product is yet another critical factor.  Do not push further if you realize that your product can’t deliver or live up to their expectations. Regardless of the outcome, the focus should be to understand the client’s requirement and then communicate the facts to the product team. The aim should always be to win a customer and not sell a product. Often times, the oversold product start experiencing problems at the deployment stage itself. Example – Would it function across site boundaries with stringent firewall rules? Yes, of course!

Proof of Concept

This is a crucial stage in the success of a product deployment and will require some effort. To be fully prepared from your own standpoint:

Ensure all customized components are consummate;

Review data schemes and sample data sets wherever applicable

Make sure that success measurement criteria is clearly defined

Ensure the POC demonstrates how a mishap is handled.

The worst part of delays in product deployment is that even the employees who were enthusiastic about welcoming the new and improved technology, lose their buzz along the way. The tedious and lengthy process not only takes a toll on their eagerness to use the application but sometimes also puts an end to an opportunity that could’ve been game-changing.  I’d once read this- “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change,” strangely enough, it applies well to enterprise products aspiring to thrive in the complex world of enterprises

Responding to Failures – How Great Differentiate Themselves from Good

Over the years we’ve all seen that the idea behind a software doesn’t guarantee its success. Its fate is very much dependent on how well the overall experience is and whether it’s functioning the way it was supposed to under all circumstances. Software solutions are meant to make life easier as opposed to creating more potholes along the road. So, what we need today is a solution that not only eliminates business risks but also reduces the cost of quality.

Let’s take Google Photos for example. While I am not a photographer, I am quite a vacationist and as we all know holidays today demand proof in the form of photos. As you all know, Google came up with a breakthrough idea that made life easier for photo-hoarders like me by creating a photo-managing software. The USP of this software was its facial recognition tool which was designed to save time that was spent in categorizing photos while uploading them to social media. However, this turned into a nightmarish reality for Google when two African-American men were mistakenly categorized as gorillas by the software. BAM! This went viral, and allegations of racial discrimination floated all over the internet. Soon, however, accusations of downright racism were silenced when it was found that a few white men were mistaken for seals and dogs. Google was quick in fixing the issue. Overnight, if the reports to be believed.  In the recent past, I encountered yet another experience that emphasized on the need of Quality Assurance. My colleague tried to book international airline tickets through a renowned booking portal. He struggled with basic functionality but tried a few times because the promotional offer was great. In the end, he lost patience and booked it through another portal, though he would have preferred not to switch. It made me wonder how many users must have switched to other portals during this period?  So, what might have caused a technology driven company to struggle with the basics? Was it incorrect QA practices? Or the inability to keep up with the release cycles? Or the lack of automation? Whatever the reason may have been, it didn’t just cost the company the failure of a worthwhile product but also got them heaps of negative publicity. All of this, perhaps indirectly leading to a gigantic loss of revenue and a stain on the image they took years to polish.

The reality is, users today expect not just elegant but very sophisticated solutions. They are spoilt for choices. If one solution doesn’t work to their satisfaction, an alternative is always available. The risk of losing a user is very high. Now, sophistication comes only after triumphing over complexity. What seems like a trivial problem could be something very complex to fix. Quick turnaround time in fixing is equally crucial as prevention of such issues.

Let’s look at how we can overcome these unforeseen challenges. Here’s what I’ve seen some fast-moving organizations do to reduce such business risks significantly:

Anticipate failures and prepare the organization for a fast turnaround:

An ability to understand the problem, reproduce it and to come up with a quick fix is critical for healthy functioning. It is important to ensure that there are no side-effects and a mechanism to roll it out must exist.

As you can see, there is a lot that goes into this process. Time is a major constraint. The preparedness in regard with the anticipation of failure is what separates good companies from great companies.

The maturity of your QA processes and automation is yet another critical factor. Right from regression test bucket to risk-based prioritization of test cases to code coverage to Devops pipeline automation- each step plays a vital role.

Build an efficient QA mindset- Think automation right from the requirement stage:

QA mindset should be instilled in the development and even at requirement definition stage to make Quality Assurance more manageable and meaningful.

Organizations should promote and drive meaningful partnerships between QA and other teams/functions by tying issues that are detected and reported to customer dissatisfaction or lost revenue.

Build culture of elegance - Elegant products have a lot to do with culture :

User experience – even in case of failures, defines the overall reaction of the users. Will they be sympathetic or angry?

Make user experience and its impact an integral part of the QA metrics, in addition to direct impacts like effort, schedule & working functionality.

The deciding factor that makes a product ‘Technological’ or ‘Tech-NO-Logical’ rests in the hands of an organization’s QA mindset. Not only does their work impact revenue, but it also has the power to either build or crumble the brand image. And not forgetting, it can make perfectly sculpted humans look like monkeys and seals too!

Test automation without scripting works well! How … and when?

As technology in software products evolved, it was inevitable that GUI test automation had to progress in tandem to keep pace with the rapid pace of development. Automation started with the Record and Play method. With constant innovation, methods such as control wrappers and UI object mapping are being used. Automation has a certain cost associated with it. The need for automation needs to be carefully weighed against the possibility of manual testing before a decision is made to choose one or the other approach. In addition to this, the product maturity, impact of changes in product, need to be kept in mind. If this is done properly, the maintenance cost will not overshadow the benefits of test automation.

Whether you use waterfall or Agile for Continuous delivery, test scripts need to be developed after test cases are identified. Writing scripts is not too different from writing code although it does not bear absolute similarity to scripting in a particular computer language. In fact, the art and science of building test scripts can be easily undervalued or misunderstood. Besides, time, talent, and effort is required to build effective scripts. So, scripts can be valuable when they are carefully constructed. However, this also means that the cost of developing good quality scripts is high, a luxury that may not be available in today’s competitive world. Also, scripts being code, need testing to make sure they are predictive and effective.

This brings into focus the need for a scriptless automation, which can help you expand test coverage enormously due to the inherent speed and scalability. The advantage of such automation practices is that deep knowledge of the underlying tool is not required.

The following advantages can be observed with the scriptless test automation approach:

Time taken to automate is reduced by 60%

The faster you automate, the quicker is the product’s time-to-market, which gives you a big advantage against competitors.

Focused testing

Your testing team understands the application under test far better than the automation experts. When you adopt the script-less approach, you make use of your entire testing team to build test automation in the shortest possible time. The coding time that is thus saved can be invested in achieving the highest possible test coverage. Also, defects can now be caught at earlier stages of product development. This ensures that a superior quality product is built at never-before-seen speeds.

Enter the domain champions

How many times have we seen domain experts complain that the coding required for automation is alien to them? Well, let’s just say, many times. Now, with the new approach, domain experts can pitch in and provide their valuable insights by participating at all levels. They can even build entire suites to ensure that the product can be tested for optimum quality release after release. If they are innovative enough, even user stories or business rules can be directly converted into test cases or test case suites.

Click…click ... click. Automate just like that

The tedious training sessions on how to use test automation tools can be a thing of the past. For example, using Qualitia, you can now focus on building the framework, solid test cases and suites instead of spending time on the automation tool. The framework that you create can be easily used by manual testers to create automated tests.

All in all, test automation is evolving rapidly and will continue to reduce repetitive testing and accelerate regression testing. Now, by using script-less automation, you can reach your testing goals much more efficiently and consistently.

Time to drop the scripts and take automation to the next level, away from the test tool language!

Test Automation for Agile vs ROI, how do you measure up?

Automation testing is fast becoming an integral part of testing strategy for any organization that is aiming at providing great customer experience. Add to this the fact that automation greatly contributes to continuous delivery in Agile, from which there is no escape in today’s competitive business environment. Why is it then that executives are not convinced about the ROI on investment that goes into automation tools?

Before moving ahead, take a look at these statistics:

Globally, companies spend over USD $300 million in debugging their software (Research from Cambridge University’s Judge Business School)

In 2015, stock prices of companies with news-making software failures fell by 4% and by 5.7% for those with multiple failures (Study by Parasoft)

It costs four to five times as much to fix a software bug after release than when it is caught in the design process – (Source – IBM Systems Sciences Institute)

Test Automation and Agile, a match made in heaven

When you want to ensure that the software that is delivered to the customer is of the best quality, a test strategy that combines the advantages of automated testing and manual testing works best. For example, automation for Unit testing/Regression or manual for Exploratory testing/ Usability testing.    

Agile is a responsive approach to address the customer’s needs and smart Agile teams have automated testing in their overall, continuous delivery strategy. This ensures efficiency in the development process by allowing development to be broken down into iterative cycles or sprints. But this also means that you need to test faster and test often even while keeping the focus on continuously improving the product with each iteration. Add to this the fact that new features are added after every sprint, and the whole situation can seem overwhelming.

Enter Test Automation

But this is where test automation ideas come handy as they can take care of the majority of the seemingly large workload. For example, Qualitia’s test automation platform can help by providing a sustainable way of testing new features that are continuously added. Its Scriptless Test Automation method can be used throughout the test automation lifecycle.

Faster and frequent testing ensures that defects are identified and fixed continuously thus ensuring that the products are of high quality from the very beginning. The software product that is developed in this manner can be introduced into the user’s environment in a rhythm that works without causing disruptions. Business can not only continue as usual but it can grow impressively.

Checklists before moving ahead with Automation

If all these points are taken care of, solid test automation and its execution will complement the larger development lifecycle. Obvious benefits such as 24*7 availability, reliability, reusability, and so on can be observed. In addition to this, new developments in cutting edge test automation software companies is expanding the horizon and scope of what can be automated.

So, is investment in Test Automation expensive? Definitely not when you look at the fact that it costs four to five times as much to fix a software bug after release than when it is caught in the design process (source – IBM Systems Sciences Institute). It becomes quickly evident that the benefits of automation far outweigh the costs.

Test Automation is strategically important and Automation is here to stay.

How Would You Select A Test Automation Tool?

In today’s highly dynamic, complex and volatile world of software development, the goal of every software development organization is to deliver superior quality products. The basic criterion is that the software should be bug-free. However, despite the efforts and precautions taken to deliver the best output, most teams will agree, that defects always seem to creep in once the product is up and running in production.

In such a situation software testing becomes critically important, and organizations are always looking to increase code coverage and accelerate the testing. This is where Test Automation comes into the equation. There are a variety of Test Automation tools that are available as both open source as well as licensed. These tools have multiple features and claim multiple benefits. Clearly, it is critical to choose the right automation tool as each one has its own challenges such as implementation complexity, training need, usability aspects, overall productivity and timeline impact, cost-effectiveness and so on. Here is a suggested list of factors for organizations to consider before selecting the right test automation tools: Identify the scope and conclude on technical feasibility As the first step, it is important to identify the complete scope requirements and various development technologies involved in the architecture of the application under test. The requirements need to be clear, precise, and thoroughly reviewed before the tool selection process comes into the picture. Once the requirements are well documented the appropriate tools should be shortlisted which can best meet the needs with lesser cost and implementation effort – but more about those issues later.

Building the business case Organizations must first decide on their desired Return on Investment or do a cost-benefit analysis before selecting the right tool based on the scope of the project. If you want to know how to go about doing that – this post of ours may help! As per the results, if the analysis of the outcome is that implementing the tool will considerably improve productivity of test execution or considerably reduce testing effort then it should be pursued further. Some of the automation tools can help create automated tests without the need to code – this impacts the type, and hence the cost of resources to be deployed. The cost of developing tests by hiring specialists versus the cost of investing in the automation tool needs to be compared and analyzed.

Open source vs licensed tools There is little doubt that licensed tools have more inbuilt features, but they always come with a higher cost. For smaller and mid-size projects, open source tools along with minimal customization can serve the purpose rather than investing in licensed tools. Some of the open source tools have limited features, for example, they can execute only specific tests or have support for specific languages or operating systems, whereas some of the licensed tools have multiple features and functionality. The pros and cons of choosing the right tool need to be weighed. In the case of licensed tools, the post production or after sales support from the vendor needs to taken into consideration as well.

Proof of concept Before finally drawing a conclusion, sometimes it may be advisable for organizations to do a small proof of concept project with the automation tool that is selected. Setting up the correct success criteria is an important aspect of a proof of concept for objective decision making. Licensed tools often have trial versions which can be downloaded and used for the proof of concept. Doing a proof of concept also gives an idea if test automation is indeed required or manual testing can suffice. Based on the outcome of the proof of concept organizations can narrow down the automation tool that best suits their needs which could be generating test results in a specific format, simple to implement, better test coverage, etc. In case the proof of concept is not successful or does not produce desired results, it can help to save time, effort and costs for the organization before the full-fledged project is executed.

Tools with enhanced features As stated earlier, it is a must to choose the automation tool which fits the organization or project requirements. However, many automation tools have additional nice-to-have features which can benefit the organization in the long run. For a large organization working on several projects, it is good to have best of the breed automation software. Additional features like cross-platform and multi-language support, mobile device support, ability to connect to multiple test data sources, ability to generate detailed reports, integration with automated build software, and version control tools are few of the add-ons which an organization needs to consider.

Selecting the right automation tool is not a simple task and needs to be given considerable thought. This is because a wrong choice or decision may severely impact the project, the testing phase, or the end business goals. What has been your experience of choosing a test automation tool – what factors did you take into consideration?
