Exploring Salesforce Live for Salesforce test automation – The ROI Booster

Posted On: 19 May 2024

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are in a constant quest for innovative solutions to enhance their efficiency and productivity. Enter Salesforce LIVE, part of ACCELQ Live (Release-aligned enterprise test automation), a groundbreaking platform that is redefining Salesforce test automation.

Salesforce LIVE for Scalable Salesforce Test Automation

Automation Approach:

Salesforce LIVE takes a comprehensive codeless platform-based approach to test automation, covering a wide range of automation processes seamlessly. On the other hand, other solutions often adopt tool-oriented approaches, which limit their ability to achieve end-to-end automation effectively.

Multi-Cloud Automation:

When it comes to multi-cloud test automation, Salesforce Live excels by effortlessly automating all aspects of the quality cycle across various cloud environments. Conversely, other solutions are designed specifically for specific SAAS platforms, lacking the versatility and flexibility provided by Salesforce Live.

Extendibility & Innovation:

Salesforce Live fosters extendibility and continuous innovation through its open marketplace approach, (ACCELQ is listed on Salesforce App exchange) which encourages collaboration with partners and software vendors. This ensures a continuous stream of new features and enhancements, thereby boosting test automation capabilities for Salesforce users. In contrast, other solutions primarily rely on tool vendors for innovation, resulting in slower progress and limited functionality.

Empowering Testers and Business Users:

Salesforce Live empowers business users by providing an end-to-end automation experience by helping deliver quality Salesforce implementations. This encompasses design, development, execution, and analysis. This user-centric approach ensures that automation is easy to adopt and accessible for testers with varying levels of technical expertise. Conversely, other test automation solutions often demand detailed technical knowledge, limiting the involvement of business users and making it tough for existing testers.

Release-aligned Test automation:

Salesforce Live excels in release aligned testing by automatically updating test assets with every new vendor release. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and ensures that test automation remains compatible with the latest software updates. In contrast, other solutions typically require manual efforts for change management, leading to delays and potential compatibility issues.

Multi-Release Support for multiple vendors:

Unlike other solutions, Salesforce Live supports multiple vendor releases simultaneously. Each ACCELQ Project within Salesforce Live can align with different SAAS vendor releases concurrently, providing unparalleled flexibility for organizations operating in diverse environments.

Change Management:

Salesforce Live simplifies change management by offering automated change reconciliation and continuous enhancement of test assets. This ensures that organizations can seamlessly incorporate changes without disrupting ongoing executions. In contrast, other solutions often require vendor-specific tool upgrades to support new changes, resulting in additional costs and complexities.

Full stack platform:

Salesforce Live builds upon ACCELQ's suite of market-leading automation products, providing a robust and reliable foundation. This underlying platform offers extensive capabilities, enabling complex automation scenarios and catering to diverse enterprise needs. Other solutions often lack this comprehensive platform backing, limiting their potential for advanced automation requirements.
