My organization heavily customizes Salesforce to align it with specific business processes, adding custom fields, workflows, and triggers. With each Salesforce release or customization update, we need to ensure that existing functionalities and customizations remain intact.Tricentis Test Automation for Salesforce excels in this scenario. Its ability to create and execute comprehensive regression test suites efficiently ensures that customizations don't introduce unexpected issues or regressions. We can automate the validation of custom workflows, triggers, and data integrity, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

If you're an Apple developer, you use Xcode. It's practically a forced necessity. For system testing though, it doesn't have to be. You can have your development team focus on unit and integration tests in their platform and another team automate acceptance tests with a language they are more familiar with.
