    Hi @Bo Bui

    You can certainly gather perspectives from the community. However, as a Provar employee, I'd be happy to help answer any questions you have and provide additional context or details if that would be helpful. 

    Thanks

We are at the very initial state of building e2e regression tests. I found that Playwright fits us because it pierces shawdom DOM, supports page objects by default and supports Python. Most of our QEs use Python for test automation.  But I don't see many people talking about this technology in the channel. So did anyone try Playwright?

    I'm a big fan of Robot Framework. Take a listen to the Salesforce Developer's Podcast Episode 59 where Josh Birk interview Pekka Klarck the lead developer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PxPps1BQuw

     

    I do have some Bias as I work for Copado and we have Copado Robotic Testing which an an E2E functional testing tool that is designed for Salesforce and built on the Robot Framework. Copado acquired Pekka's previous employer Quentinel which formed the core of the Copado Robotic Testing solution. We extend Robot Framework to have a more complete and accessible solution.  And we are members of the Robot Foundation that Pekka works for today! So if you want to buy a solution check out Copado. https://www.copado.com/platform/test/

     

    If you want to build consider the Robot Framework. You can get some good documentation on how to do it from Julian Joseph's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B03PY9RUUqw

    Salesforce doesn’t natively integrate with Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center.

    That said, a lot of enterprise teams still use ALM as their test management layer for Salesforce. Usually the setup is ALM managing requirements and test cases, while a Salesforce-focused automation tool executes the tests and pushes results back.

    Tools like Provar support this model, and some organizations also use integration platforms (OpsHub, ConnectALL, etc.) to sync defects, requirements, and test execution data.

    So it’s definitely possible, just not something Salesforce provides out of the box.

We have our Selenium automation script running in Azure pipeline. In Azure, predicting VM IP from which script will be executed is difficult.

 

So how can we skip "Verify Your Identity" without adding IP in Network Access or adding it in Profile.

 

As per link https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000386254&type=1 we tried frontdoor.jsp but it didnot worked. It was always redirecting to login page.

 

Can anyone suggest what is the best option to handle this?

With recent changes to Device Activation, we may need to look at 'allowed IP address' change to keep our Test Automation working. This would need to take into account different locations/vpns/automation agents etc., so isn't necessarily a small change. 

 

I am curious what others are doing for Test Automation or RPA Salesforce UI/Form-based Login either with or without 2FA/email codes etc.

    Thanks, though this was for UI access, not API.  

    But ultimately, we're now all going via a VPN for our remote clients, so we were able to reduce the impact of the various locations, through our singular entry/IP point & register that on the allowed IP list.

For automated testing, is there a way to mock getting an external call in omnichannel?

    Hi, 

     

    As far as I know, there isn’t a built-in way to fake an inbound call in Omni-Channel the same way you can simulate a chat or a case push. Voice routing depends completely on the CTI adapter, and Salesforce won’t generate a mock call event on its own. 

     

    If you just need to test routing logic, the closest option is whatever your telephony provider offers for test or sandbox calls. Most of them have a test number or a softphone mode that lets you trigger an inbound call without using a real phone line.  

     

    Omni-Channel only reacts once the CTI adapter tells it a call arrived, so that’s the part you need to simulate.

As  #AI agents become the new face of customer interaction, testing them isn’t just about checking workflows or scripts — it’s about validating cognition. 

 

To build trust in AI-driven systems like  #Salesforce  Agentforce, testers must balance traditional QA rigor with AI-specific validation — ensuring the agent not only works but thinks accurately, adapts intelligently, and responds ethically. 

 

Because a reliable  #Agentforce  is built not only on great models, but on great testing.  

 

📍Catch me at  #Dreamforce in San Francisco next week to continue this conversation on AI, trust, and testing the mind of Agentforce.

Mobile Automation - Emulator/Simulator builds now available

 

Have you been looking to develop automated tests for the Salesforce mobile App? I’m excited to tell you that virtual device builds of the Salesforce app are now available at https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/mobile-debugging

 

As a tester, this means that you can download builds of the Salesforce App that have been compiled to run on an Android Emulator or iOS Simulator and use them to develop automated tests on mobile devices.

 

Keep your eye on the Test Automation Trailblazer Community because this is the first post in a series that will explore how you can use Appium (http://appium.io/) to develop automated UI tests on the Salesforce Mobile App. Appium is an open-source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid, and mobile web apps.

 

This series will cover 

  • The tools that will be used to develop automated mobile tests. 
  • Locating elements with Appium.
  • Developing a simple mobile test. 

 

If there is something specific you would like to see covered in this series please leave a comment and let me know.

    Thank you for sharing such a detailed guide on adapting mobile app testing strategies for websites. The step-by-step breakdown you provided—from defining testing goals to choosing tools like Selenium or Playwright, setting up environments, writing scripts, and analyzing results—perfectly explains how to ensure a website delivers the best possible experience. I really appreciate the way you connected these technical aspects to practical applications, especially for something like a kid gaming website where performance and smooth interactions matter a lot.

    Interestingly, this approach reminds me of how users expect seamless performance and flexibility from streaming platforms too. For instance, many people who visit my site are looking for information about Netflix Mod APK—a modified version of the Netflix application designed to unlock premium features. Just as automated testing ensures a gaming site runs without glitches, Netflix Mod APK provides an optimized experience for users who want more than the standard version offers. It eliminates limitations, giving users access to unlimited shows, ad-free streaming, and enhanced playback options across devices.

    Automation testing, as you mentioned, focuses on critical user flows, ensuring that essential interactions are smooth and functional. Similarly, Netflix Mod APK is centered around improving the “user flow” of streaming. Instead of interruptions by ads or restricted access to premium content, users can enjoy uninterrupted entertainment. In both cases, the end goal is the same: maximizing satisfaction and delivering a seamless digital experience.

    Another strong point from your article is the emphasis on cross-browser and cross-device testing. This is so relevant today because users access content from all sorts of devices—smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs. In the same way, Netflix Mod APK appeals to people who want the freedom to watch from anywhere, without being tied to a single device or subscription plan. Whether it’s Android or iOS, users want consistency, and that’s exactly what this APK version aims to provide—just like testing ensures consistency across different browsers.

    The last part of your guide, about iterating and enhancing the test suite, also connects with how modded apps keep evolving. Netflix Mod APK, for example, frequently gets updated to improve security, unlock new features, and stay compatible with the latest devices and operating systems. Just like developers keep testing websites for improvements, APK creators ensure that the modified version continues to meet user expectations.

    In short, both your testing guide and the Netflix Mod APK experience highlight the importance of continuous improvement, user focus, and adaptability. Whether it’s a kid gaming website or a streaming platform, the ultimate goal is to provide smooth functionality, reliability, and enjoyment. For those interested in streaming, Netflix Mod APK serves as the “optimized test result,” offering a premium, uninterrupted, and fully enhanced experience.
