Salesforce (SFDC) testing is the process of checking custom configurations, code, workflows, and integrations on the Salesforce platform to ensure everything works as intended. [1]Key Types of Salesforce Testing
Unit Testing: Written by developers using Apex code to test classes and triggers, requiring at least 75% code coverage before production deployment. [1]
Functional Testing: Validates business requirements and daily user workflows like lead conversions, chance tracking, and reports. [1, 2]
Integration Testing: Checks data exchanges between Salesforce and third-party tools like ERPs, marketing software, or payment gateways. [1]
Regression Testing: Ensures seasonal platform updates do not break existing customizations or workflows. [1]

Common Challenges
Agile UI Elements: Salesforce uses changing IDs and Shadow DOM components that make standard automation tools lose track of elements. [1, 2]
Frequent Releases: Salesforce updates three times a year, requiring continuous and rapid regression testing cycles. [1, 2]
