What is the Debug log level for Visualforce?

Otherwise, line numbers and variables referenced by the debugger might lead you to confusion instead of to discoveries. The debug log must be generated with a log level of FINER or FINEST for log category Visualforce and a log level of FINEST for log category Apex Code.

What is bug in Salesforce?

A bug is a conflict in logic within a particular solution. Typically it is a result of a coding that may not recognize certain variables within a deployment. A bug can affect the outputs of the solution but is generally only within a particular use case and does not inhibit the user from using the solution.

Find Bugs Earlier with Second-Generation Packaging

Salesforce.org is the social impact center of Salesforce, building powerful technology for, and with, nonprofits, schools, and philanthropic organizations. We’re part of Salesforce, and we work like an independent software vendor (ISV), building amazing products on top of the Salesforce platform to help enable positive change around the world.

Building a trusted development lifecycle

One of our key goals in defining o ur software development lifecycle (SDLC) is to shift risk as far “left” (early) in the process as possible. Bugs caught early are cheap to fix; bugs caught late are very expensive to fix; bugs caught in production are worst of all, because they impact our customers and damage trust.

What are packaging, 1GP, and 2GP?

Packaging is a Salesforce platform technology that enables metadata to be packaged into a discrete artifact that may be installed in many orgs. Packaging is a solution both for migrating changes and for distributing products to customers. It underlies the AppExchange.

Identifying legacy development process risks

A representative ISV development process might look much like ours did in 2020:

The challenges of end-to-end testing

A product can be more than a package. That’s why we practice what we call the Product Delivery Model, which centers the idea of a product as delivered to a customer, in all its complexity. One or many packages, unpackaged metadata, potentially off-platform services, and setup automation all fall under the umbrella of the product.

Testing with second-generation packaging

One of the great innovations of second-generation packaging is the ability to create packages (the real artifacts that are delivered to customers) across multiple code lines or branches of development. First-generation packaging is limited to one primary code line, represented by the state of the packaging org.

Shifting feature testing left

We have a deep automation infrastructure built around CumulusCI, our open source framework for orchestration with scratch orgs, and MetaCI, our continuous integration service. We built second-generation packaging into our automated processes to help us shift testing left.

A Software Bug Goes Into a Production Bar

43% of developers spend up to 25% of their time debugging production app errors, according to a study by ClusterHQ. If you ask Salesforce developers or QA engineers why this happens, you’ll realize that most of the time, it’s to do with differing data sets in production versus the sandbox testing environments. They just don’t match.

That's Where Manual Data Replication Comes In

To overcome this challenge, Salesforce developers and QA engineers find themselves manually replicating data to sandbox testing environments. Usually this involves multiple .CSV data exports, movement, and upload steps, expending precious time on an often complex and error-prone process.

How OwnBackup Sandbox Seeding Simplifies the Process

Anyone who is developing new capabilities and testing them before they get to the production environment will benefit from the automated test data replication, or sandbox seeding provided by OwnBackup.

How many checkpoints can you set in Debug?

You can set as many breakpoints as you like, but you can only set up to five checkpoints at a time. Compared to breakpoints, checkpoints provide richer information for all local variables, static variables, and trigger context variables. Use the Debug: Toggle Breakpoint and SFDX: Toggle Checkpoint commands to toggle on and off breakpoints ...

How to open SFDX checkpoint?

Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows or Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) to open the Command Palette. Enter sfdx checkpoint in the search box, then choose SFDX: Toggle Checkpoint. You should see an indicator next to the line number showing that the checkpoint was set.

How to run Apex test in Visual Studio Code?

Enter apex test in the search box, then choose SFDX: Run Apex Tests.

What is a breakpoint in Apex?

Checkpoints, a special feature for debugging Apex code, are a type of breakpoint that provides more information by capturing heap dumps. You can set as many breakpoints as you like, but you can only set up to five checkpoints at a time. Compared to breakpoints, checkpoints provide richer information for all local variables, static variables, and trigger context variables.
