# Certify every Salesforce release before it reaches production

Spring, Summer and Winter arrive on Salesforce's calendar, not yours. Admins and sales operations prove Flows, CPQ and approvals still work during the sandbox preview.

- Done inside the preview window
- Admins write tests in English
- Named sign-off before go-live

**Renewal closes and activates an order**Salesforce, 5 steps

1. Open the 'Opportunity' record '{{opportunity.name}}'
2. Select 'Closed Won' from 'Stage'
3. Click the 'Save' button
4. Click the 'Orders' tab
5. Check that the 'Status' field shows 'Activated' within 30 seconds

## Business teams own certification

### Plain-English steps

The people who know the process write and read the tests. The Salesforce pack adds object-level steps on top of Lightning pages.

### Beyond the org

One test continues into the ERP, billing or a desktop client automation never reached.

### Evidence and sign-off

Results and screenshots land in Quality View, with a named person recording go or no-go.

## Certify each Salesforce release

Release rhythmWhen each release lands

What breaksWhere upgrades usually hurt

Processes to certifyStart with what matters most

Configuration changesYour own changes, same proof

Cross-app flowFollow the process end to end

### The Salesforce release rhythm

You choose a preview or non-preview sandbox. You do not choose whether the release arrives.

| Release | Timing | Can you defer? |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Spring | Sandbox preview in January, production January to February | No |
| Summer | Sandbox preview in May, production May to June | No |
| Winter | Sandbox preview in August, production September to October | No |
| Patches | Weekly | No |

Typical cadence. Dates vary by instance and region; check your vendor's release calendar.

[Compare all vendor calendars](https://qventis.ai/platforms#calendar)

### Where Salesforce upgrades hurt

Custom work sits on a platform that changes three times a year.

- Enforced release updates change behavior that Apex relied on
- A Flow that fired on save fails on a changed field or permission
- CPQ and other managed packages must work with each release
- Older API versions retire, and middleware maps drift

[See the App Model](https://qventis.ai/one/app-model?hsLang=en)

### Start with revenue and service

Certify the processes that carry revenue and service commitments first.

- Lead to opportunity: conversion, assignment and duplicate checks
- Quote and approval: discounts, routing and quote documents
- Case to resolution: routing, entitlements and milestone timers
- Experience Cloud: partners see only their own records

[See packaged app testing](https://qventis.ai/engines/packaged-apps?hsLang=en)

### Certify admin changes too

Admins ship changes every sprint. A new validation rule can break a process as easily as a release.

- Page layouts, record types and validation rules
- Flows and approval processes
- Permission sets and sharing rules

[See release testing](https://qventis.ai/solutions/release-testing?hsLang=en)

### Quote-to-cash, end to end

The quote lives in Salesforce. The money lives elsewhere, so certify the hand-off as one test.

1. A rep builds and approves a quote in Salesforce CPQ.
2. The order arrives in the ERP with the same lines and price.
3. Billing issues an invoice for the approved amount.

## Questions

Can we postpone a Salesforce release?

No. You can choose whether a sandbox gets the preview early, which buys testing time before production.

Do AI-proposed fixes change tests on their own?

No. A proposal comes with evidence, and a person who is not the author approves it.

## See one revenue process certified, live

Bring one revenue process. We run it in your preview sandbox with you and show the sign-off.
