Discuss Salesforce DEX-450 Exam Topic 3 Question 106

How can a developer check the test coverage of autolaunched Flows before deploying them in a change set?

AUse SOQL and the Tooling APL.

BUse the Flow Properties page.

CUse the Code Coverage Setup page.

DUse the ApextestResult class.

Suggested Answer: A

As of Winter '20 (API version 47.0), Salesforce introduced the ability to test Autolaunched Flows with test coverage.

However, as of the current knowledge cutoff (2023-09), there is no direct way within the Salesforce UI to check the test coverage of autolaunched flows before deploying them via change sets.

To check the test coverage of flows, developers can use the Tooling API to query for test coverage.

Option A: Use SOQL and the Tooling API.

Correct Answer.

Developers can use the Tooling API to query for Flow test coverage information.

By executing a SOQL query on FlowTestCoverage and FlowVersionView objects via the Tooling API, developers can retrieve coverage data.

This allows checking flow test coverage programmatically before deployment.

The Flow Properties page does not provide test coverage information.

It allows configuring flow settings but not checking test coverage.

Option C: Use the Code Coverage Setup page.

Incorrect.

The Code Coverage page in Setup pertains to Apex code coverage, not Flow coverage.

Option D: Use the ApexTestResult class.

Incorrect.

The ApexTestResult class is used for Apex test results.

It does not provide information on Flow test coverage.

Conclusion:

To check the test coverage of autolaunched Flows before deploying them in a change set, a developer should use SOQL and the Tooling API, which is Option A.

Option B: Use the Flow Properties page.

Nah, Flow Properties is the way to go, no doubt!

You can check coverage using the Flow Properties page.

I don’t think the ApexTestResult class is relevant here; it seems more focused on Apex tests rather than Flows.

I’m leaning towards using SOQL and the Tooling API, but I can't recall if that applies to Flows specifically.

Lorita 1 year ago

I remember practicing a question about checking coverage, and I feel like the Code Coverage Setup page was mentioned, but it was more about Apex classes.

Mozelle 1 year ago

I think we might need to check the Flow Properties page for test coverage, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only way.

Maryann 1 year ago

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. I believe the Flow Properties page is the way to go.

Mayra 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review my notes on testing Flows before I can decide.

Alesia 1 year ago

Okay, I think I have an idea. Let me see if I can apply what I've learned about testing Flows.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different options carefully.

Wait, there's a Tooling API for this? That's news to me. I'll go with A just to be different.
