In the fast-paced world of Salesforce, data validation is crucial to maintaining accurate and reliable information. Manual validation processes can be time-consuming and prone to human error, but with the power of automation, you can streamline and enhance your data validation efforts. In this blog, we will explore how to automate Salesforce data validation using Katalon Studio. By leveraging the robust features of Katalon Studio, we can create efficient and effective test cases to verify the integrity of Salesforce data.
Step-By-Step Process
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of Salesforce Automation and learn how to harness the potential of automation to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
Step 1: Set Up Salesforce Integration in Katalon Studio
To begin automating Salesforce data validation, we need to set up the integration between Katalon Studio and Salesforce. By providing the necessary login credentials, Katalon Studio can establish a connection with your Salesforce instance. This integration enables seamless interaction with Salesforce, allowing us to perform validation tasks efficiently. Once the integration is set up, we can proceed to create our test cases.
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS
WebUI.openBrowser('')
// Set up Salesforce integration
WebUI.navigateToUrl('
WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Login Page/Username'), 'your_salesforce_username')
WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Login Page/Password'), 'your_salesforce_password')
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Login Page/LoginButton'))
Step 2: Create Test Cases for Data Validation
In this step, we will create test cases within Katalon Studio to validate Salesforce data. We start by navigating to the Salesforce object we want to validate, such as accounts or leads. Using Katalon Studio's built-in keywords, we can perform data entry by setting values for different fields. This simulates the process of inputting data into Salesforce as a user would. Once the data entry is complete, we submit the form to trigger the validation process.
// Navigate to the Salesforce object to be validated
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/Home/AccountsTab'))
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/Home/NewButton'))
// Perform data entry
WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/AccountForm/AccountName'), 'Test Account')
WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/AccountForm/Phone'), '1234567890')
// ... additional data entry steps
// Submit the form
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/AccountForm/SaveButton'))
Step 3: Add Assertions to Verify Data
After submitting the form, we need to verify the data entered and the validation results. Katalon Studio allows us to add assertions to validate the expected outcomes. We can verify the visibility of error messages or success confirmation messages, ensuring that Salesforce enforces the desired validation rules. Additionally, we can check the integrity of the entered data by matching the values with the expected results. This step ensures that the data is accurately stored in Salesforce and maintains its consistency.
// Verify data validation messages or success confirmation
WebUI.verifyElementVisible(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/AccountForm/ErrorMessages'))
WebUI.verifyElementNotVisible(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/AccountForm/SuccessMessage'))
// Verify data integrity
WebUI.verifyMatch(WebUI.getAttribute(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/AccountForm/AccountName'), 'value'), 'Test Account')
WebUI.verifyMatch(WebUI.getAttribute(findTestObject('Object Repository/Salesforce/Page/AccountForm/Phone'), 'value'), '1234567890')
// Aditional assertions if needed
// Close the browser
WebUI.closeBrowser()
