What if Salesforce deployment could feel like a day in your pajamas; fun, comfortable and oh-so-effortless?
Salesforce deployment can really put your teams outside their comfort zones at times, especially when using changesets, leading to deployment times of an hour or more. As you enter the unfamiliar territory of changes, all the while unsure of what and which components you need to add to your changesets, you could be forgiven for craving more ease and familiarity.
As Salesforce admins and developers you are constantly looking for effective tools to answer questions, resolve bugs, and keep your orgs the best they can be. Even though you may test all the changes you made to the sandbox before you deploy your awesomeness to the production, you may often hit a stumbling block. This is because Salesforce development teams often struggle with coupled together solutions that leverage multiple outdated tools which were built for other types of development. Thus, they do not effectively handle the unique needs of the Salesforce platform. Which only leads to inefficiency and more frustration.

Deliver deployments the quick and easy way with our Deployment Analyzer
A deployment analyzer acts as a validation, allowing you to fix things before you deploy them. It analyzes all the components and will return results for any issues. So, for instance, if there is any component missing, missing references in profiles that are not clickable or any differences in your API versions, it will return to show you all of those in an interface that is easy to understand and resolve.
Deployment Analyzer also allows you to fix the changes then and there, so there’s no need to go back into the actual component and move things around depending on the specific case. You can explore the Flosum Community portal to discover how the deployment analyzer works in greater detail, or watch the detailed video below.
Flosum’s Deployment Analyser lets you deliver deployments as patches, and it can deploy all components that are supported by the metadata API as well as the Tooling API. This means you can instantly detect and resolve errors that might occur during deployment, saving the time and effort it would take to rework themit. It can be used to remove dependencies among user stories as well as fix API version-related errors, and you can even create a deployment from multiple user stories or commits. In short – it makes deployments a whole lot more comfortable.
Branch Deployment Analyzer checks for deployment errors before the deployment happens. The types of errors it helps identify include:
- API version errors
- Missing component errors
It doesn't just help you spot errors that are otherwise easy to miss when pursuing manual deployments but goes a step ahead and helps you fix and troubleshooters without interrupting your deployment velocity.
