This week Salesforce announced their Scale Test is now generally available.
This automated testing tool provides the following:
- Ensures that the software performs reliably under increasing user loads and data volumes.
- Safeguards a positive user experience.
- Identifies and addresses potential issues before they impact operations, reducing the risk of costly downtime or data loss.
- Enables teams to deploy reliable, well-architected systems.
- Provides confidence in software performance, which helps businesses maintain a competitive edge in today’s dynamic business landscape.
Basically, you set up some test plans for the front-end, such as the most used pagesLightning components, and APIs.Then you test the back-end functionality, such as triggers, platform events, and DMLs.
Then you schedule the tests, review the results, and make adjustments to your org as needed.
The takeaway
Scale Test is a paid add-on, so you’ll need to contact your Salesforce AE to enable it. It’s probably not worth it for smaller orgs, but larger ones will appreciate the insights and resulting benefits this tool provides.
More details about the announcement are published on Medium.
