Real-time sandbox environments in Salesforce

A sandbox is basically a replication of your Salesforce org you can use for development, testing, and training without disrupting your production environment. Sandboxes are completely isolated from your Salesforce production organization, so anything you do in your sandboxes will not affect your Salesforce production application, and vice-versa. Sandbox provides a set of tools that deliver real, tangible business benefits and it’s not just for developers.

If you make a mess of things, your “real” data and org is protected and your sandbox can be refreshed 29 days from its creation or from the last refresh. You can be created a sandbox in production environment;

Setup > Administration Setup > Data Management > Sandbox

There are three types of sandboxes available to Salesforce.com customers.

Configuration-only sandbox

Configuration-only sandboxes copy all your production organization’s reports, dashboards, price books, products, apps, and customizations, but exclude all your organization’s standard and custom object records, documents, and attachments.

Developer sandbox

Developer sandboxes are special configuration-only sandboxes intended for coding and testing by a single developer. They provide an environment in which changes under active development can be isolated until they are ready to be shared. Just like configuration-only sandboxes, developer sandboxes copy all application and configuration information to the sandbox.

Full sandbox

Full sandboxes copy your entire production organization and all its data, including standard and custom object records, documents, and attachments.

    hey i saw this and thought it is really helpful. Just wanted to let people know that i've developed an app which lets you get around the 29 day limit by allowing you to copy production data to sandbox (www.sfapex.com). Thought it might be useful for those in need. Thanks

Displaying pop-up summaries on hover in visualforce

What if I want to make a summary pop-up window when a user hovers over a link in a visualforce page. This Feature is easy in standard salesforce pages, mostly because it happens automatically. But not in visualforce pages. I have seen most of example for pop-up in salesforce were created using the output panels with some embedded styles.   Here I'm posting a pop-up example which show the details of a partuclar record on a mouseover using the Hover links similar to those used in standard Salesforce links.  /*visualforce page*/ <apex:page controller="PopupTest"> <apex:form > <apex:repeat value="{!accounts}" var="acc"> <br/> <a href="/{!acc.Id}" id="{!acc.Id}" onblur="LookupHoverDetail.getHover('{!acc.Id}').hide();" onfocus="LookupHoverDetail.getHover('{!acc.Id}', '/{!acc.Id}/m?retURL=%2F{!acc.Id}&isAjaxRequest=1').show(...

Unit Testing in Salesforce

Testing is a key and critical component to successful long term software development process. Salesforce.com strongly recommends using a test-driven development process which occurs at the same time as code development. Salesforce has very strong set of documentation. When I was learning salesforce unit testing, I realize that it is difficult to understand where to start read. Therefore, I summarized the unit testing for salesforce beginners to understand the basic aspects of unit testing. There are few things to consider before you deploy or upload the code or package; 75% of your Apex code must be covered by unit tests All the tests must complete successfully Every trigger has some test coverage (1%) All classes and triggers must compile successfully When you are writing a test class, you have to write test for Single Action, Bulk Action, Positive Behavior, Negative Behavior, and Restricted User. Single Action : Test to verify that a single record produces the corre...
