Apex Test Execution ​

Metaforce Apex Test Execution provides an automated test runner and coverage analysis console for Salesforce developers. Run isolated test classes, orchestrate test suites, monitor background test jobs, and inspect line-by-line code coverage before deploying to production.

Apex Test Execution

Core Capabilities ​

  • Apex Test Classes: Browse, search, and run test classes or specific test methods with one click.
  • Apex Test Suites: Group related test classes into custom suites (e.g. Billing Regression, Trigger Tests) and trigger batch runs.
  • Test Jobs Monitor: Track asynchronous test execution progress in real-time with pass/fail counts and failure stack traces.
  • Overall Code Coverage: View aggregate organization code coverage and detailed coverage percentages for every Apex class and trigger.
  • Uncovered Lines Inspector: Identify exact lines and conditional branches that lack test coverage to ensure you meet the 75% deployment threshold.

Running Apex Tests ​

1. Execute Test Classes ​

Navigate to the Test Classes tab:

  • Search test classes by name.
  • Select one or multiple test classes using checkboxes.
  • Choose execution options (e.g., enable or disable parallel execution to prevent record lock contention).
  • Click Run Selected Tests.

2. Manage Apex Test Suites ​

Navigate to the Test Suites tab:

  • Click New Test Suite to create a named suite.
  • Add or remove Apex test classes from the suite editor.
  • Run the entire suite with a single click during regression testing.

Inspecting Test Results & Failure Stacks ​

The Test Jobs tab displays live execution results:

  • Status Badges: Instant visual feedback for Completed, Failed, or Processing.
  • Method Breakdown: Expand any test class to view the outcome of individual @isTest methods.
  • Failure Diagnostics: Click failed test methods to inspect the assertion failure message and exact stack trace lines.

Organization Code Coverage Analysis ​

The Overall Coverage tab calculates and presents real-time coverage metrics across your organization:

  • Org-Wide Coverage Gauge: Visual percentage indicator showing your organization's total coverage relative to the mandatory 75% Salesforce requirement.
  • Class Coverage Breakdown: Sortable table listing all Apex classes and triggers, covered lines count, uncovered lines count, and coverage percentages.
  • Coverage Viewer: Click any class to open the code viewer with covered lines highlighted in green and uncovered lines highlighted in red.
