Once installed and configured, your Live Check Quality extension lets you check and improve your code with best practices from our rulesets.
You can check the following types of CEs: Classes, Triggers, Pages, Components, Objects, Reports, Workflows, Flows and JavaScript.
These are the steps you need to follow to check your code:
-
- Run a LiveCheck.
-
- Check your code.
-
- Fix the issues or request a write off.
Run a LiveCheck #
After installing Live Check Quality for Salesforce v2.1, the developers need to click on ‘Validate Api Key‘ (even if it is already validated when installing the new version) and run a LiveCheck.
These two actions will generate a new local data structure that accommodates the new data needed to show the different tabs inside the ‘Quality Center‘.
Every time you wish, you can run a Live Check on the file you are working on. This runs a check against all our rules.
Prerequisites: The API key need to be successfully validated so that the Quality Clouds can be connected.

Checking on demand #
After launching a LiveCheck you will be able to check the code and the issues found in the ‘Problems‘ section in the editor.
For all the issues found in the check you can consult the following:
- Issue type
- Issue severity (low, medium, high, warning)
- Quality Gate: Blocker, Minor and Legacy. If it shows NA, it’s because there are no Quality Gates or the write-off requested for the issue has been approved.
- Line and character number
- Link to Best Practice documentation

- Go to ‘View‘.
- Click on ‘Problems‘.
