When Should this Feature Be Used?

• Any time test data needs to be generated and inserted into one or more Salesforce Objects. 

What Setup Steps are Required? 

1. The Salesforce integration feature must be enabled for your organization. 
   • Please contact Customer Support to have it activated. 
2. (Optionally) The user can add a Custom Domain to their account. 
3. The user must create and activate a Salesforce Profile in the GenRocket web platform.
   • More than one Salesforce Profile can be created.
   • Only one Salesforce Profile can be active at a time. 
   • Users can associate a Salesforce Profile with a Custom Domain. 
     

How Does it Work? 

1. Create a Project with the Default Project Version.
2. Import Salesforce Objects to create Domains. 
   • The SFObjectInsertReceiver is automatically added to each imported Domain.
   • For Salesforce Objects with 25+ fields, Attribute creation is queued and the user receives an email notification once done. 
3. Create a Scenario for each imported Domain.
4. Make design modifications (e.g., Change loopCount, Set Parent/Child Relationships Modify Generators, Create Cases).
5. Generate and insert test data into Salesforce.
   • Generate data either through GenRocket Cloud or on the user's local machine at the Command Line. 
   • Additional setup steps will be required when performed at the command line.

Salesforce Query Generators

Three Salesforce Query Generators can be used to query a Salesforce Object during test data generation. 

• SFQueryGen
• SFQueryEachLoopGen
• SFPickListGen 

Salesforce Test Data Generation Options

Salesforce test data can be generated in one of two ways with GenRocket: 

1. Execute from Web - Execute from the GenRocket web platform and populate the Salesforce Object(s) from the web. A complete example can be seen here.
   
   
   Note: There are limitations when using this method. At most, 10,000 records can be pushed using this method. If more will need to be generated and pushed, then test data will need to be generated at the command line. 
   
   Note: The Execute from Web option cannot be used to generate test data with features such as G-Cases, G-Questionnaire, etc. In those instances, the user must execute from the command line (details below).
   
   
2. Execute from the Command Line- Additional steps are required to generate Salesforce test data. These steps include: 
   • Install GenRocket Runtime on the user's local machine.
   • Configure Organization Resources.
   • Download a GenRocket Profile.
   • Set up an Environment Variable (for executing the Scenario).
   • Download the Scenario to the user's local machine.
   • Download additional test data generation components (e.g., Test Data Cases).
   • Run the Command at the command line.
