Salesforce release and critical update regression testing
When a Salesforce release becomes available, Mavens performs regression testing on the supported versions of Scientific Publications Cloud product to ensure core features function as expected. Supported versions include the latest version and the previously released version of Scientific Publications Cloud product.
Special considerations
Regression testing considerations include:
-
Mavens only performs regression testing on supported versions of Scientific Publications Cloud product. Unsupported versions of Scientific Publications Cloud product are not regression tested against Salesforce releases.
-
If your Salesforce environments utilize custom code, customizations, or configurations, Mavens highly recommends you test the Salesforce release in your environments to determine impact. Mavens only tests Salesforce updates in an out-of-the-box environment.
-
Ensure your browsers are up-to-date. Issues are often found and easily fixed by ensuring your browser is current. Therefore, it is recommended that you check for updates, install any that are available, and restart your browser.
Regression testing timeline
The regression testing timeline for a Salesforce release is as follows:
-
Salesforce publishes release notes.
-
Mavens reviews the release notes and identifies areas of concern to test.
-
Salesforce sandbox previews become available.
-
Mavens performs regression testing. Visit Regression testing protocol.
If an issue is found, Mavens creates a Salesforce case to find out if the issue will be fixed before production release or not.
-
Mavens publishes regression testing results.
Note: Results are published as soon as testing is complete. If no test results are posted, testing is still in progress.
Regression testing protocol
Mavens performs all regression testing in an out-of-the-box environment that has all Salesforce critical updates that are available in the test environment enabled. Scientific Publications Cloud product is considered out-of-the-box when no custom code, customizations, or configurations, such as custom integrations, custom formulas, or custom workflow, have been added to Scientific Publications Cloud product.
Note: In addition to performing regression testing in the latest version of Salesforce, the engineering team utilizes the most recent versions of the Salesforce platform in product development. This includes the sandbox preview for soon-to-be-released versions of Salesforce.
Mavens regression testing includes:
-
Installing the latest released version of Scientific Publications Cloud product in the newly released version of Salesforce.
Note: Mavens does not test the installation of older versions of Scientific Publications Cloud product.
-
Upgrading the Scientific Publications Cloud product from two releases ago to the previous release and from the previous release to the current release.
-
Completing a post-installation verification test to ensure the Scientific Publications Cloud product is largely working. The post-installation verification test outlines the most commonly performed user actions in Scientific Publications Cloud product, such as creating and editing instances of all major objects, searching for and attaching documents, and creating and editing an HCP.
-
Investigating and thoroughly testing all critical updates and any additional updates that could have a significant impact on the Scientific Publications Cloud product. As soon as the Salesforce release notes are available, Mavens develops risk-based test protocols beyond the actions included in the post-installation verification test.
If Mavens identifies an issue during regression testing, Mavens creates a known issue for it. The known issue includes a recommendation on how to bypass the issue. In addition, if the issue is considered critical, Mavens releases a hotfix or maintenance release of the Scientific Publications Cloud product that resolves the issue and provides email communication to customers regarding the hotfix. If the issue is not considered critical, Mavens provides a fix for the issue in the next major release of Scientific Publications Cloud product.
