The Admin User Is Lying to You
Testing Salesforce features as a System Administrator creates false confidence by bypassing security models. Learn why "God Mode" testing hides critical defects in Sharing Rules and FLS.
Testing Salesforce features as a System Administrator creates false confidence by bypassing security models. Learn why "God Mode" testing hides critical defects in Sharing Rules and FLS.
"It's by design" is a dangerous phrase in Salesforce projects. Learn why this justification stops investigation and how QA should challenge unexplained system behavior.
Scale doesn't break Salesforce features; it exposes bad assumptions. Learn why SOQL limits, Flow bulkification, and Sharing calculations kill features that "worked" in Sandbox.
A test case can be executed, passed, and documented—and still be useless. Learn why "ritualistic" testing fails in Salesforce and how to inject intent into your QA process.
Most Salesforce defects aren't logic errors; they are correct logic executed in an untested context. Learn how to test assumptions about ownership, state, and user behavior.
Real Salesforce defects don't live in features; they live in the seams between them. Learn why testing assumptions is more critical than knowing the platform.
"We don't need to test this, it's standard Salesforce." This sentence causes production outages. Learn why configuring standard features turns them into custom risks.
Salesforce rarely breaks randomly. Learn why most reported defects are actually conflicts between user expectations and system configuration—and how QA can decode them.
"Random" Salesforce bugs are a myth. The platform is painfully deterministic. Learn why human chaos causes unpredictability and how QA restores order.
Adding a simple checkbox often breaks Flows, Integrations, and Historical Data. Learn why booleans are actually decision engines and how to test them properly.
