Gearset Product Features

Automated Testing

With Gearset, automated testing becomes an integral, reliable part of your Salesforce DevOps process. Create custom, scheduled unit-test jobs, set desired code-coverage thresholds, and gain full visibility into test outcomes across your orgs. Integrate UI testing seamlessly — after deployment, trigger your existing tools such as ACCELQ, Eggplant or Provar, and consolidate results in Gearset for streamlined feedback. Detailed failure reporting, stack-traces for Apex errors, and historical test-run data provide the insight you need to catch regressions before they impact production.  Deploy with confidence: ensure every release meets your quality gates and avoid last-minute surprises with in-org automated tests that run daily or on demand.

Code Review

Gearset’s Code Reviews brings enterprise-grade static code and configuration analysis into your Salesforce DevOps workflow. Scan everything that matters – from Apex and Lightning Web Components to Flows, Aura, Visualforce and metadata – all under one roof. Catch and block issues early with built-in quality and security gates. Use one of the predefined rule-sets (aligned to OWASP and Well-Architected frameworks) or define your own. Embed code analysis right into pull requests and your CI/CD pipeline – making checks automatic rather than an after-thought. Drive consistency and continuous improvement: configure team-wide standards, track historical trends, measure technical debt and up-skill your developers with actionable insights. Reduce risk by finding bad patterns before they become a problem in production – and enforce real governance around your codebase. 

Continuous Delivery

Gearset makes continuous delivery for Salesforce effortless, reliable, and transparent. Automatically move changes through your release pipeline — from development to staging to production — with full visibility, audit trails, and rollback support. Gearset’s CI/CD engine validates every deployment, runs Apex tests, and enforces quality gates to keep releases stable.

Whether it’s user error, integration failures, or system outages, Gearset protects both your Salesforce metadata and data — so you can recover fast and reliably. Automated daily (or even hourly) backups keep your recovery point objective (RPO) low, while intuitive restore workflows minimise your recovery time objective (RTO).  Flexible restoration options let you recover everything from a single field to entire objects — and all with full audit trails, encryption in transit and at rest, and off-platform storage for maximum resilience and compliance. Embed disaster recovery into your DevOps lifecycle: integrate backups into your release workflows, monitor for anomalies, and ensure business continuity with confidence.

Metadata Management

Gearset gives you complete visibility and control over your Salesforce metadata — from comparison and versioning to deployment and rollback. With powerful diff tools, change tracking, and CI/CD integration, Gearset makes managing complex org configurations simple and reliable. Compare orgs or branches to see exactly what’s changed, validate deployments before they go live, and schedule releases across teams and environments. Whether you’re handling frequent small updates or coordinating large-scale releases, Gearset’s metadata management features — including branching strategies, bundles, and rollback options — ensure accuracy, consistency, and auditability across every environment. Bring structure and confidence to Salesforce change management, and make metadata governance a seamless part of your DevOps workflow.

Observability

Gearset gives you full visibility into your Salesforce org’s health — capturing Flow and Apex errors, monitoring org limits, and surfacing issues before they impact users.  With a single dashboard, you can track error trends, identify the most-problematic Flows or Apex classes, and view how many users were impacted. Set up real-time alerts via Slack or Microsoft Teams, build custom rules (e.g., “If Flow X fails more than 10 times in 5 minutes”), and automatically link errors to tickets in Jira or Azure DevOps for triage. Monitor platform limits (API calls, storage, email, etc.) in one place — keeping you ahead of bottlenecks and potential system outages. By shifting from reactive monitoring to proactive observability, Gearset empowers your team to catch problems early, reduce downtime and continuously improve your Salesforce platform stability.

Release Management

Gearset helps you orchestrate releases with precision and confidence — providing a unified platform for metadata comparison, deployment packaging, scheduling, and full audit-trail visibility. With support for Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and team collaboration, Gearset turns complex multi-org Salesforce releases into predictable, repeatable events. Create draft deployments with shared filters, validate packages before they go live, schedule deployments across time zones, and delegate permissions for different roles in your team. Whether you’re bundling features into release waves or pushing frequent incremental changes, Gearset’s branching strategy support (including “Releases” and the new “Bundles” model) gives you the flexibility you need — and the control your executives and auditors demand.

SaaS Backup

Gearset delivers rapid, resilient backup and restore capabilities for your SaaS environments, safeguarding both data and metadata to ensure continuity even when failure strikes. Automate daily full backups and more frequent high-cadence backups for critical objects — keeping recovery-point and recovery-time objectives tight. Designed for compliance-mindful businesses, Gearset stores backups off-platform in secure AWS data centres across US, EU, CA and AUS, encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access and audit trails built in. With flexible restore workflows—from a single field to entire objects — plus metadata backup and change visualization, Gearset embeds backup into your SaaS DevOps pipeline. Stay release-ready, streamline disaster recovery, and maintain governance without sacrificing agility.

UI Testing

Gearset integrates seamlessly with your preferred UI testing tools — such as ACCELQ, Provar, or Eggplant — to automate end-to-end testing for Salesforce. Trigger UI test suites automatically as part of your CI/CD pipeline or after every deployment, and consolidate results directly in Gearset for complete visibility. By embedding UI testing into your release process, teams can validate user flows, reduce manual effort, and catch issues before they reach production — ensuring smooth, reliable Salesforce experiences.

Unit Testing

Gearset automates Salesforce unit testing so your team can ship with confidence. Schedule or trigger Apex test runs automatically across orgs, track pass/fail results, and set code-coverage thresholds to maintain quality standards. With real-time feedback, historical trend tracking, and detailed failure insights, Gearset turns unit testing into a proactive quality-assurance step in every deployment — helping teams prevent regressions and maintain org stability.
