Hi, Is anyone using "Copado Robotic Testing" or "Provar" for Salesforce Automation and Regression Testing? What's your experience, and are there any particular challenges or issues you are facing? Thank You.

Disclaimer - I used to work for Copado, but don't any longer.

I really like Copado Robotic Testing, which comes from an acquisition. I think it is much more universally applicable than their main CI/CD product actually! It's easy to set up, there are many prebuilt scripts to get you going, you can create scripts through a macro recorder or a Flow-like UI, the script itself is very human readable/writable, it's wholly cloud-based unless you run it against an on-premium application, you can test Desktop vs mobile, not limited to Salesforce but handles esoteric things like Salesforce CPQ well (can even test the results of PDF's generated by the doc engine), and the metrics it generates are useful if you want that. Plus you can bulk test by loading a CSV with a list of record ID's, or run the same test as multiple users/profiles/etc.

Provar seemed really clunky when I explored that pre-acquisition for customers, and though I wasn't in sales, I was a part of some Copado CI/CD clients who evaluated both and they never chose Provar... And it wasn't because of a rock-solid integration w/CI/CD, because it was nonexistent at the time, and I'm not sure how much better it is now.

If you have CPQ, Copado's tool seems to be the only reasonable choice for full UI testing, unless you already employ a Selenium development team, but even then, the customers I saw were moving off that so that their Salesforce admins could own build and maintenence of test scripts, not just running them. Prodly has some very basic tests you can trigger (I.e. can you order your quote, can you amend your contract), but it is not a full testing suite even for CPQ.

Excellent insights, Thanks a lot. Is selenium handling the CPQ version upgrades good enough ? Do you have any experience with that ? Thanks

Commenting to follow this post and the feedbacks.

I've heard good things about Provar but haven't used it personally

Thanks for the update. I too heard lot about Provar and yet to meet someone who is using CRT.

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?
