Monitoring in Production

• Testing in development phase should be "complete" from the user's perspective

  • records are created/read/updated/deleted in the system

• Creating/updating/deleting records in production is not a good idea

  • therefore in production it's more about monitoring and observing

    • positive tests: processes work smoothly

    • negative tests: anomalies are detected

Detect exceptions using Salesforce Reports + testRigor

1. In Salesforce, create a report that catches an exception.

• a rather simple (and silly) example :

  • normally: Accounts are created every day

  • exception: There are no Accounts created today

  • detection: Report doesn't return records

In Salesforce Enterprise Edition orgs each user can subscribe up to 7 Reports and Dashboards. Probably this is not enough for the purpose of Production Monitoring.

2. In testRigor, create Test Case

• Description: Production Monitoring: Accounts - # created TODAY

login
click "Home" 
click "Reports" 
click "All Folders" 
click "PRODUCTION MONITORING" 
click "Monitor Accounts" 
click "Accounts - # created TODAY" 

wait 3 sec up to 20 times until page does not contain "loadingSpinner"

check that page doesn't contain "No records returned"

Ensure that latest foreign currency exchange rates are fetched

Scenario

• Foreign currency exchange rates are fetched daily form Frankfurter.dev
• We want to check that the latest USD rate and date in Salesforce and in Frankfurter are in sync

Test Case

// IN SALESFORCE
API-0001 - SALESFORCE REST API - Authorize :: API_access_token
save string "SELECT+Id,+StartDate,+IsoCode,+ConversionRate+FROM+DatedConversionRate+WHERE+IsoCode=\'USD\'+ORDER+BY+StartDate+DESC+LIMIT+1" as "SOQL"
call api get from string with parameters "${API_SALESFORCE_DOMAIN}/services/data/v62.0/query/?q=${SOQL}" with headers from the string with parameters "Authorization:Bearer ${API_access_token}" and then get "$.records[0].StartDate" and save it as "date_Salesforce_Latest" and then get "$.records[0].ConversionRate" and save it as "rateUSD_Salesforce_Latest"

check that stored value "date_Salesforce_Latest" itself is not equal to ""
check that stored value "date_Salesforce_Latest" itself is not equal to "NaN"

check that stored value "rateUSD_Salesforce_Latest" itself is not equal to ""
check that stored value "rateUSD_Salesforce_Latest" itself is not equal to "0"

// IN FRANKFURTER.DEV
call api get "https://api.frankfurter.dev/v1/latest" and then get "date" and save it as "date_Frankfurter_Latest" and then get "rates.USD" and save it as "rateUSD_Frankfurter_Latest"

check that stored value "date_Frankfurter_Latest" itself is not equal to ""
check that stored value "date_Frankfurter_Latest" itself is not equal to "NaN"

check that stored value "rateUSD_Frankfurter_Latest" itself is not equal to ""
check that stored value "rateUSD_Frankfurter_Latest" itself is not equal to "0"

// USD RATES AND DATES ARE THE SAME IN SALESFORCE AND IN FRANKFURTER.DEV
check that stored value "date_Salesforce_Latest"    itself is equal to stored value "date_Frankfurter_Latest"    itself
check that stored value "rateUSD_Salesforce_Latest" itself is equal to stored value "rateUSD_Frankfurter_Latest" itself
