Salesforce Scan

QMetry Automation Studio provides a stable testing platform for testing different Salesforce apps/modules. The Salesforce Scanner in QAS lets you scan your Salesforce instance without any hassle. It creates the structure of Salesforce modules quickly which allows you to jump-start creating test cases and saves your efforts to scan apps/modules individually. The locator's files for Salesforce are generated in QAS which can be used to write/customize the test scripts and simplify the filling of Salesforce forms.

QAS Salesforce Scan connects to your Salesforce instance. It creates Salesforce Modules from all controls that can be accessed and generates module locators in the locator repository.
