  • Arranging separate Git repository: The earliest step in a long run development process is to have a separate Git repository for every project with Master branch where the release manager would be responsible to create different branches handled by developers.
  • Development Stage: Sandboxes are used by every developer to begin coding on their own, so that it won’t affect the main Salesforce enterprises. They do their necessary coding in their sandboxes and perform tests to find any errors. If not, they commit the code to the repository.
  • Testing: The most important step in any software development cycle after the creation is over. Testing that provides the insight of the app, how effective it really is. QA also uses sandboxes and transfer the code for testing. QA also shares their sandboxes, if situation demands for testing vital features.
  • Acceptance: Once the testing is performed, it further needs acceptance from product manager and other concerned individuals. The release manager creates partial sandboxes used by product managers perform ad hoc testing, which are further used by trainers to create trainee manuals.
  • Release: After all the rigorous testing on partial sandboxes by different actors to confirm the app has all the features, it is finally capable of deploying in the production. However, there are still changes that need to be done after the final deployment, which are handled in a patch release. It is a very important and fast process in the development cycle.
