Test Automation is for Admins too

Test automation is an essential tool for streamlining regression testing for many companies but for many Salesforce admins, it’s still a niche concept. Traditionally, solutions were built on complex coded frameworks. Fortunately, the marketplace is changing with the introduction of robust tools that are also admin-friendly. In this session we’ll learn how these tools are changing and we’ll discuss how to tackle testing as a blocker to agility. Join this session to find out how you can unblock deployments, increase transparency, and guarantee the continued quality of what has been built.

Your Admin Toolbelt is not complete without Salesforce DX – Learn to Leverage and Love the aDmin eXperience

What if changing the order of 2 fields on 15 layouts took only 2 minutes?

It is the essential power tool for all things Salesforce!We will give you a full tour of the aDmin eXperience – starting with how to setup DX, what basic knowledge you need in order to increase your daily productivity and how to analyse if your most tedious tasks can be automated.

You will need no previous knowledge for this session. And you don’t have to worry about Git – you don’t need version control to get started. We got you covered, and we’ll climb the first steps together towards an Admin life that you’ll never want to miss again.

Time Out – A Lightning component that gives you a break and makes you a Coffee!

Technology has made office work easy. So easy, that humans don’t need anything but the warm glow of a computer screen, an email program and coffee. Staring at screen for hours can cause you real damage. People forget that our bodies have limits. But since the effects are not visible physically, they are highly ignored. Therefore, the systems that you work with should help you in keeping fit rather than encouraging you to work more.In this talk, I will speak about Time Out, a Lightning Component which helps you in keeping healthy. It is nicely packed in the utility bar. Lightning components in the utility bar have superpowers – they persist across various pages of the application, without being affected by your navigation. In the background it has a Javascript timer running, which informs you at desired intervals that it’s time to stretch, do some exercise or take a walk. That’s not all, when connected to your coffee machine, you can order your coffee from your seat and enjoy it with some fresh air.

You should attend this talk if you want to know more about:

Lightning Components
Utility Bar and Utility Bar API.
Microcontrollers
How to connect Salesforce to a coffee machine using a Microcontroller.

This talk is a Proof of Concept, to give you inspiration on what different stuff can be done using Utility Bar and various IoT Modules.

Thankfully, the Lightning Platform has tools to make testing faster, easier, and more exciting. Join us for a deep dive into advanced testing topics including mocking, stubbing, avoiding the database, and writing custom assertions. Never heard of those? That’s OK, we’ll introduce and demo exactly how they work, and why.

Preparing the ground for your DX Implementation

In this talk, we will share our experiences in preparing dev teams and business processes across the enterprise for a likely DX switchingDX is undoubtedly excellent with the stratospheric hype around it. But before speeding onboard, we have to strive on aligning the delivery teams to outfit for a DX impact

Like any other modish stuff, as an imperative task, we need to work on strengthening the service layer to ease the connectivity with the modules around. If not, we will end up doing a series of successful proof of concepts and will fall-flat when we adopt this implementation to an end to end operational execution.

As the metadata will keep its XML format, we have to improve our understanding on how can we

* Leverage XML files with code editors as GIT is a bit rusty with them

* Efficiently sync it with GIT as a primary step before moving to DX

Also, find a bunch of things acted as a part of the preparation

* Enforcing an IDE for developers

* Understanding the core concepts of how GIT works, with Salesforce metadata and code files

* Defining and tuning deployment workflow in different scenarios

* Component development workflow

* Conflict resolution for particular metadata types

* Understanding the reason behind DX metadata split formats

* Each field to a separate XML file, this format can change. we can store it differently based on our project

* Managing the conflicts with the tricky profiles and custom labels

* Getting inspired by the delivery flows, dependency management and versioning from open source java/JavaScript projects in GIT

* Relevant use of tools like Ant, Gulp, Grunt, Web pack in transforming our source info to build ready with ease

We believe that DX will flex the packaging and deployment process with similar ease as npm. DXifying your salesforce processes isn’t just a collection of utilities but needs a change in mind set.

Salesforce projects IRL/DLVV (“in real life”/”dans la vraie vie”)

We all love the enthusiastic presentation of the Salesforce communities for Developers, Admins, and the whole Salesforce Ohana.
However, our experience shows that in real-life (IRL, or DLVV “dans la vraie vie”), Salesforce implementation projects have their surprises, difficulties and lessons learned.
In this presentation by experienced senior Salesforce consultants from Devoteam (ex-Altius), we will share some true stories about Salesforce projects IRL/DLVV : we will tell you about our errors, their consequences, the lessons we learned and the advice we would like to share with you.

Implement and Use Lightning Service Components

As Lightning developers, most of what we implement are user interface components. As our code base grows, there is a strong need for service (non-graphical) components to structure our apps and avoid code duplication. Join this session to get an overview of available base Lightning service components and learn best practices that will allow you to build custom services. We will demonstrate this architecture by looking at a service component that calls server-side actions.
