Run Your Test

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

  • Book the actual test using the New Booking feature.
  • Explain the importance of following a structured execution process.
  • Run tests using Salesforce Scale Test.

Next, learn about the execution of scale tests using Salesforce Scale Test. Executing your tests is crucial for obtaining accurate and meaningful results. Also, releases that happen in sandboxes can affect your scale testing activities.

The Test Execution window in Scale Test shows you key metrics that happened during the test.

Explore Why Structured Execution Is Important

  • Consistency: A structured execution process ensures that your tests are consistent and reliable, making it easier to compare results across different tests.
  • Efficiency: By following a structured process, you can execute your tests more efficiently, reducing the time and effort required.
  • Accuracy: A structured process helps you avoid common pitfalls and ensures that your tests are accurate and meaningful.

Steps to Execute Scale Tests

Testing Step

Description

Book the Actual Test

  • Use the New Booking process to schedule your test time.
  • Scale Test scales up core clouds to a production-like level.
  • Cancellations require at least one week of notice before the test’s start date.

Run the Test

Run the test scenarios in your test environment, monitoring the performance and identifying any issues.

Document Results

  • Detailed reports: Create detailed reports of your test results, including performance metrics, issues identified, and actions taken.
  • Share results: Share the results with stakeholders to ensure transparency and facilitate decision-making.

Extend Your Testing

  • Endurance testing: Run sustained, production-like load tests for 4+ hours to identify long-term issues such as memory leaks.
  • Troubleshooting process: Document ownership and escalation paths if SLAs are breached.
  • Clear entry/exit criteria: Link test outcomes directly to business risks and functional requirements so stakeholders see what has been validated.

Use Case: Testing a B2B Commerce Application

You execute a full-scale test of a B2B commerce application with 25,000 concurrent users across Experience Cloud, API integrations, and Einstein Bots. You use the New Booking flow to schedule your test, which automatically scales core Salesforce infrastructure to production-like conditions. During the run, you capture metrics for response time, chatbot latency, and CPU time across integrated flows. You monitor all test scenarios using live metrics dashboards provided by Scale Test.

Well done. Now you have the completed test and all of its metrics available for monitoring and analysis. Continue on to find out why this is so important and the many next steps you can take to perfect your implementation.
