They began as a part of makepositive, a Platinum Salesforce consulting partner. Through their experiences implementing Salesforce projects, they experienced first-hand the difficulty of testing Salesforce in a fast and cost-effective way. None of the existing vendor tools can reliably test Salesforce’s UI, especially complex Visualforce pages. Thealternative is to test manually or use code, writing a custom framework based on Selenium.Determined to makes things better, they created Provar.Since then they have been overwhelmed by Provar’s reception within Fortune 100 companies and Salesforce app vendors. They have a diverse range of customers spanning several industries, and they serve business sizes ranging from 100 employees to 100,000.
