Configure Lifecycle Center Testing to enforce quality at every stage of your pipeline, from the first review to the final promotion into production.
Before your pipeline can enforce quality automatically, make sure you have an active pipeline and that your environments are in sync.
See Build Your Pipeline and Synchronize Your Development Environment if you haven't completed these steps yet.
Setting up Lifecycle Center Testing involves three steps:
Note Use Agentforce Skills to configure test providers, manage suite assignments,
set quality gates, run on-demand tests, and analyze failures—all from your agent. See the
Salesforce Skills Library.
- Test Providers
Selecting the right test provider depends on your testing needs, the maturity of your Salesforce org, and the types of changes moving through your pipeline. You can configure multiple providers and assign different test suites to different pipeline stages — so the right tests run at the right time. - Test Suites
Test suites are the foundational building blocks of your testing strategy in DevOps Center Testing. A test suite is a logically grouped collection of tests from a single test provider — such as a set of Apex unit tests, a Code Analyzer scan configuration, or a partner test package. Rather than running individual tests one by one, test suites let you define meaningful groups of tests that reflect your team's quality standards and assign them as a unit to pipeline stages. - Quality Gates
Quality gates define the pass thresholds, severity limits, and essential test requirements that changes must meet before advancing in your pipeline.
