Crash Course in Salesforce Test Automation

Many Salesforce teams face the same struggle: As their Salesforce ecosystem grows and the business becomes more dependent on the system, they need to release faster and minimize deployment issues. Adopting DevOps seems like the de facto solution, but if your team isn’t aligned and prepared to step up to the challenge, it can slow you down instead of speeding you up.

Centralizing test management and orchestration across the enterprise

A recent Tricentis & TechWell survey revealed that as organizations mature their DevOps practices, they become more likely to consider quality a shared responsibility across many teams. But distributing this responsibility means there are more people to align with, more potential communication breakdowns, and more opportunities for testing to become disconnected. Without a test management strategy in place that accounts for the way DevOps teams collaborate, your team will run into challenges with communication, visibility, and traceability – ultimately hampering your ability to deliver continuous value to your customers.

In this webinar, we'll share five best practices that will help you rethink your test management strategy so that it's easier – and more pleasant – to work together towards a common goal.

Join us to learn strategies for:
- Unifying testing strategies across projects, teams, and tools
- Improving communication and eliminating duplicate work
- Creating continuous quality feedback loops in a CI/CD pipeline
- Improving your ability to meet compliance requirements
- Increasing visibility to simplify go/no-go decisions
