- Business Challenge
- Our Solution
The existing Salesforce codebase suffered from performance and compliance gaps that hindered deployment readiness.
Key challenges included:
- Custom code coverage below the 75% Salesforce deployment requirement
- Frequent CPU timeouts and slow transaction processing
- Lack of adherence to Salesforce best practices and naming conventions
- Poorly structured unit tests and unoptimized logic impacting efficiency
Aquarient implemented a comprehensive Code Optimization and Coverage Enhancement Program to achieve production-readiness.
Solution Highlights:
- Code Refactoring: Rewrote inefficient Apex logic to reduce CPU load and improve runtime performance
- Test Class Development: Expanded unit test coverage from 68% to 82%, exceeding Salesforce’s deployment standard
- Performance Optimization: Reduced transaction latency through SOQL tuning and asynchronous processing
- Standardized Practices: Enforced Apex, Trigger, and Governor Limit compliance using Salesforce best practices and design patterns
Why It Matters
By optimizing both code quality and system performance, the client:
- Ensured a smooth production deployment without rollback risks
- Enhanced developer productivity and simplified future maintenance
- Created a scalable Salesforce foundation for future releases and automation initiatives
