Introduction to Automated Testing

Automated testing lets admins and developers build repeatable tests that cuts manual effort and ensure changes don’t break existing functionality across your org.

Who is this for?

Teams who are still doing manual testing or those who are not getting value from their existing end-to-end test automation tool.

You’re a great fit if:

  • Manual testing slows every release, consuming days of admin/dev time at the end of each sprint.

  • You worry about breaking production because high-risk processes (approvals, financial flows, critical automations) must be constantly re-tested.

  • Traditional UI testing tools feel too brittle, too expensive, or too specialised for the realities of Salesforce.

What can it do right now?

Build tests: Easily create new test cases and save them for future use. You can use both:

  • Recorder: Record clicks in the live browser view and they are translated into steps. Note: Our Gearset Agent helps generate assertions or checks for the test.

  • AI Agent: Use our AI agent to create a set of steps and assertions from a prompt.

  • Switch User: Create tests as your end users to capture any missing fields, buttons etc.

  • Execute & Rerun: Run tests instantly and re-run them whenever you need to. Get immediate feedback on whether a test passes or fails.

Run and Monitor your tests: Create test jobs to run tests on a schedule or manually.

  • Test Jobs: Create test jobs to run a set of tests either on a schedule or manually.

  • Test Job Run: See a history of each run and see which tests pass and failed.

  • Test Run: See the executed steps and screenshots of a test to diagnose why it fails.


How our AI helps you test?

Note: To use Automated Testing, make sure "AI features for metadata" is enabled on your Feature access page.

Our product leverages artificial intelligence to address the most frustrating parts of UI testing:

  • Generating tests: Instead of writing complex scripts, you can use simple plain English prompts to create test steps. Our AI understands your intent and translates it into a working test, saving you time.

  • Generating steps with clicks: We record your clicks and translate them to plain English steps. This helps make your tests repeatable, even when the underlying layout/style changes.

  • Intelligent fallbacks: The AI can detect if it cannot reach its goal (i.e. validation errors) and will attempt to fix it. For example, a validation error when you save an object. It will detect and retry with the right format.What we are not doing yet?
