Easy and Complete Salesforce CI/CD with Open Source only !
Change sets are dead.
CI/CD on Salesforce, what a frightening thing for some of us !
– Is it for developers only ?
– Do we need to be a git master or to know how to write command lines to use it ?
– Do we need to pay for extra licenses ?
The answer to all these questions is NO, let us show you how , with open-source only 🙂
To efficiently manage your Salesforce projects today, you must choose amongst the available options in the ecosystem:
– Purchase licenses of a DevOps market tool like Salto, Copado, Gearset, Flosum, Autorabit, Blue Canvas, Prodly, or Opsera.
– Use Salesforce DevOps Center
– Define and maintain home-made CI/CD pipelines
This session will describe how, if it fits for your team and project, you can use a fourth choice:
– based on open-source only, without having to purchase licenses or maintain home-made scripts !
– work with clicks only, not command lines !
It will end with a live demo performed by the great (not defined yet) , business consultant with no technical background, to show that anyone can use the tooling 🙂"

Designing Automated Tests for Experience Cloud – A Primer
Experience Cloud is the point in your CRM strategy where you have a direct touchpoint with your customers, and everything should be styled nicely, in-brand and absolutely flawless.
But how do you make sure that this is safe and guaranteed at all times while you’re delivering features and deploying in fast iterations? And how do you test complex roundtrips such as self-signups with email verification?
The common answer is: Automated front end testing. Cumulus CI and Robot framework provide us with powerful tools, and they can be enhanced relatively easy. Let’s build our first end-to-end test suite to verify we don’t break our customer’s experience and can build and deploy with confidence.
Just recently, Salesforce added Scale Testing to their portfolio, and the presentation will cover how to automate these tests as well.
