Salesforce testing strategy
Testing pyramid, test data, UI/API automation, roles and environment considerations.
Build a risk-based testing approach for Salesforce applications. Cover functional and regression testing, role-based visibility, flows and validation rules, API tests, browser automation concepts, test data, accessibility basics, and defect reporting.
Salesforce behaviour depends on permissions, data, declarative automation, integrations, and user journeys. Practice designing tests that consider these layers rather than checking only happy paths.
QA engineers, Salesforce testers, and automation engineers. The learning path can be adjusted to the learner’s starting level after an initial discussion with the training team.

Duration is a recommended planning estimate. Final hours and lab access should be confirmed for the selected cohort.
Study the learning sequence below. Module delivery order may be adjusted to the cohort’s background and the available Salesforce training environment.
Testing pyramid, test data, UI/API automation, roles and environment considerations.
Leads/opportunities/cases, validation rules, flows, profiles, permission scenarios and edge cases.
REST tests, assertions, negative testing, contract checks, mock services and data validation.
Choose a supported browser automation stack; locator stability, reusable actions, test isolation and CI execution.
Role-based access, data visibility, keyboard/accessibility basics and privacy-safe test data.
Regression pack, defect reports, test evidence, risk-based prioritisation and test summary.
Create a reusable regression pack for a sample CRM, including scenario coverage, API checks, automation examples, defect evidence, and a test summary.
The following are example role directions aligned with the skills taught. Hiring requirements differ by employer, experience, communication skills, and hands-on ability.
Yes. Testing fundamentals are the main prerequisite; programming helps with advanced automation exercises.
The trainer should select a supported tool and confirm its compatibility with the test org and current application before delivery.
The capstone includes a regression test pack, defect reports, test evidence, risk priorities, and a test summary.
The course may include certification-aligned preparation, but it does not issue an official Salesforce credential. Check the current official exam guide, registration process, prerequisites, and fees separately.
