Salesforce CPQ Testing

Salesforce CPQ is a Configure-Price-Quote solution built on Salesforce Lightning. Salesforce CPQ has certain elements that make it a challenge to test using standard automation methods such as Selenium.

How does Automation Support Salesforce CPQ Testing?


These tags are visible in the page’s HTML. This makes them resistant to testing using traditional locators such as Field IDs and XPaths. While CSS locators can work, they tend to be brittle and complex to construct.

Automation has been extended to support and offer a guide in Salesforce CPQ testing on several fronts, with a specialized type of locator available for buttons, links, and text fields. Automation also supports testing Salesforce CPQ tables, tabs, and standard screens.
