Build Check for Salesforce enables you to scan your code against three levels of controls: Salesforce best practices, industry standards, and Quality Clouds own recommendations. It helps you optimize the automation of your continuous quality and release management with centralized quality gates applied in Reposito
What is Build Check #
Build Check is a continuous quality tool which automatically checks your code, and applies specified quality gates before you build and deploy.
How it works #
For every pull and merge request, Build Check checks the new code and returns the following results:
Success
The scan has finished, and the Quality Gates are PASSED or not configured. The pipeline continues with the process of building and deploying.
Fail
The scan has finished, and the Quality Gates are FAILED. The pipeline stops the process of building and deploying.
Setting up an Azure DevOps pipeline for Salesforce #
In case of using Azure DevOps as build orchestrator on top of a GitHub repository, the following sample would run quality check of the Salesforce metadata:
Azure DevOps Pipeline Sample for Salesforce
# Starter pipeline # Start with a minimal pipeline that you can customize to build and deploy your code. # Add steps that build, run tests, deploy, and more: # https://aka.ms/yaml trigger: – main pool: vmImage: ubuntu-latest steps: – task: DockerInstaller@0 inputs: dockerVersion: ‘17.09.0-ce’ – script: docker run –user root –network=host -v $BUILD_DIRECTORY:/src/:rw -e QC_API_KEY=$QC_API_KEY -e API_URL=https://services.qualityclouds.com -e REPO_URL=https://github.com/qualityclouds-admin/test-action.git -e diff_mode=1 -e MODE=cloud -e URL_ID= -e BRANCH=test-pr -e OPERATION=PUSH -t qualityclouds/pipeline-salesforce sf-scan displayName: ‘Scan’ env: BUILD_DIRECTORY: $(Agent.BuildDirectory) QC_API_KEY: $(apiKey2)
Other Source Control Repositories #
You can invoke Quality Clouds for Salesforce wrapper located in the Docker Hub library, as a generic container or as a Bitbucket one.
What you’ll need
You need to provide a valid API key to connect the Quality Clouds ruleset against which your code will be checked. To obtain an API key, contact your Quality Clouds admin. If you’re an admin, check the Administering API keys article.
