A. Create Pre-validation Request

Create a pre-validation request to commit from your local version control repository.

C. Submit Pre-validation Request

While submitting the pre-validation request, you may choose the following criteria as pre-checks:

1. Generate Diff Report

2. Run Static code analysis

3. Validate deployment

Generate Diff report

AutoRABIT compares the metadata between the source org and the destination branch and generates a metadata difference report. The diff report shows a summary of metadata component differences between the org and the branch.

Run Static code analysis

Static code analysis detects data flow problems, software defects, language implementation errors, inconsistencies, dangerous usage, coding standard violations, and security vulnerabilities, if any.

Validate Deployment

AutoRABIT performs a check-only deployment to your selected org/branch. Nothing is deployed; however, if the deployment fails or tests do not pass, the issues will be clearly shown so they can be resolved.

D. Commit approved pre-validation request

Commit the code once the pre-validation request has been approved.

E. View Pre-validation Requests

Diff Report

Static Code Analysis Report

Validate Deployment Report

F. Trigger Build

This extension also allows developers to trigger builds once the code is committed. Actions like Quick Deploy and Abort are available for each build.

G. Deployments

Use the extension to view results for pre-validations, builds, and deployments.
