Build and Test the Release Artifact
After your team has finished its development tasks, transition to the build release
phase to integrate your changes in a Developer Pro sandbox. Then build the release
artifact.
Here are the high-level steps in the work flow to create the release artifact.
- Pull the changes from the repo so your local project contains all the changes your team has made.
- Authorize the Developer Pro sandbox.
-
Run the deploy command that mimics what you’ll deploy to production, for example:
sf project source deploy --manifest manifest/package.xml --target-org dev-pro-sandbox \ --test-level RunSpecifiedTests --tests TestMyCode
- Open the sandbox.
- Perform testing.
- If the testing passes, continue to the test release phase where you deploy the release artifact to the partial sandbox. Then perform user-acceptance testing.
After the testing passes, move to the release phase and perform regression tests in the Full sandbox.
