SEED for Test Methods - Prebuilt Adaptive Test Factory

SEED is great!

Hello! I use SEED to help me monitor my updates to SF in regards to our test methods written with SEED and provide testing that would otherwise take hours. Also includes email notifications so you know when something may not be working right.

SEED saved me hours of development time and prevented my project from being delayed

I was lucky enough to be on the beta team for SEED and it quickly paid off. SEED's adaptive object creation ensures that our test methods written using SEED methods will not fail due to changes made to our organization. We recently had an admin add some required fields to our account object to help with data quality and all of our test methods written without SEED failed. Luckily we had many already refactored to utilize SEED and they continued to work as expected. We had a total of 35 test methods with 30 of them using SEED. We had a project with a tight deadline that was being pushed to production and if we had not had SEED we would have had to have a developer rework all 35 test methods to take the new organization requirements into account. Instead, we only had to update 5 test methods (soon to be refactored) and the project was able to be deployed in time. The validation rule functionality is also great. Even though SEED does not support all validation functions at this time, it is slick how it notifies you whenever a new rule is added or updated that SEED cannot handle. At that point it is a simple update to a single class to account for the field requirements and ALL test methods using SEED will continue to function. Using SEED, our developers can spend the time writing test methods and asserting for appropriate results instead of researching org requirements every time they want to create an object (record).
