Write Apex Test Classes efficiently with Tesforce

1.Why Tesforce

The Test Classes are required to deploy Apex to a production environment or to be packaged and placed on Force.com AppExchange, it must provide at least 75% code coverage.

That will be a huge workload to SFDC Developers if the project(application) include a lot of Apex Classes,the cost of time to write Test Classes for them even more than to write themselves.So why cannot generate the Test Code automatically,or how can we write the test code more efficiently? We(at least me) really need a application which can generate most of code that we don’t have to write, such as Test Data Creating,can solve the potential problems of reference fields and required fields for us, and more.

Tesforce is the application I created to satisfy the needs, which is dedicated to minimize our coding work and help us to focus on the application logic.

Let me show you the basic usage of Tesforce.

2.Usage of Tesforce
