Automation, on the other hand, can speed up
the testing process while mitigating human
error. With the right approach, resources can
be saved and costs can be driven down.
With a tool that’s simple to use and maintain,
testers can own the automation task,
and developers can focus on new feature
development.
Not all testing has to be automated, but by
tasking robots with repetitive, predictable
tasks, such as regression testing, testers can
focus on higher-value work that requires their
critical and creative thinking. As a result of
automation, inefficiencies can be eliminated
and errors minimized.
To the business, greater efficiency means
operational costs can be reduced to the
business, benefitting the bottom line.
To the Product and QA teams, this means
fewer tedious, time-consuming tasks and
more capacity to focus on enjoyable, value-
generating work.
What is Salesforce automation?
Salesforce automation is many things.
Often, when people talk about Salesforce
automation, they’re referring to process
automation within Salesforce. This is
called Sales Force Automation (often
abbreviated to SFA).
Like any type of automation, the purpose
of SFA is to increase productivity by
reducing the amount of tedious, repetitive
work.
One simple example of SFA is in processing
sales leads: when a lead is created
through a Salesforce form, the sales rep
receives a notification to follow up on that
lead. This is an automated functionality
offered within the Salesforce product.
Although Salesforce can handle simple
automation, more complex types of
automation like test automation, require
external tools.
