Please join us for our next Raleigh Salesforce User Group Meeting at Red Hat, Inc.!
Quality & System Health are our focus for November's User Group Meeting. Ever start down the path of creating system automation and 'hope' you covered all the bases? Ever wish you knew if a change you made today, impacted a change you made a few years ago? Come and see us at the next user group meeting to learn about best practices, techniques, and tools to help you better maintain and manage the functionality you… Show more have in place. How should you go about testing what you built? How do you know what's needed based on how your system is growing? These and other questions will be discussed at November's meeting. We have a great line up of folks to talk to you.
AssureClick ( http://www.assureclick.com/ ) will be discussing why system and functional testing are critical in Salesforce and why “configurations” are no exception. The increasing number of security breaches that have surfaced over the last few years add another level of responsibility for system administrators to test their systems. (Please see below for more details)
Here's what we'll be doing:

Networking and Lunch: provided by AssureClick
System & Functional Testing Best Practices, AssureClick
Customer Spot Lights (Red Hat & MaxPoint)

Do you really test your Salesforce implementation?
Please join one of the founders of AssureClick, the 1st fully automated testing tool native to salesforce.com, as we discuss how to develop a robust testing process and team to support your Salesforce implementation.
We can all agree that Salesforce.com is easy to configure and develop. However, proper testing is often taken for granted. It is not enough to just verify the Configuration, Triggers, and Security Settings of your Salesforce.com implementation. We believe that testing must be a part of your development cycle from the onset!
For example, when making a change to a production Salesforce.com environment, you must anticipate the assessed risk that the change will cause well before the decision. Will it affect the user experience, a report, a dashboard, a workflow or validation rule, or even a security setting?
The need for testing is only increased when you add custom APEX code.
Properly designing for sufficient testing in your ongoing Salesforce.com environment requires building unit tests against your configuration as well as against your custom code.
AssureClick recommends trying our version of Test Driven Development and using it to build and maintain a full test case library for your Salesforce implementation.
FAQs
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
Parking Details: Since this event is downtown Raleigh, please leave time in your schedule to park. Red Hat has a parking deck, but parking is at a premium and these decks are pay lots.
Building Details: This time the event will not be in the tower of Red Hat - instead, we will be in a space that is on the ground floor. To get to it from the parking deck, you will take the elevators down, walk through the lobby, and exit the building. The Annex is accessible from the street. More details to follow.
