In short: For a London-based mobile phone company replacing its service centre applications with Salesforce Service Cloud, our test lead embedded testing in the CI/CD pipeline, tested a custom GDPR check and supported the data migration.

A London-based mobile phone company seeking to replace its existing Service Centre applications with Salesforce Service Cloud.

The challenge

The project required more than a standard Service Cloud implementation. The company needed to integrate several Salesforce applications, including:

• Knowledge
• Live Agent
• Social Studio

Additionally, a custom GDPR/Data Processing Agreement (DPA) check had to be developed to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

The use of a CI/CD and DevOps methodology, combined with rapidly evolving customer requirements, added further complexity to the implementation.

Technology

The solution was built on Salesforce Service Cloud and its related applications. A CI/CD and DevOps approach guided the implementation, supported by:

• Jira for process management, bug tracking, and data migration tasks
• Automated pipelines for continuous integration and continuous development

What we did

Our Testlead played a key role in aligning the testing approach with the CI/CD and DevOps methodology, ensuring a smooth and controlled implementation process.

Smooth Integration

Salesforce Service Cloud and the associated applications, Knowledge, Live Agent, and Social Studio, were successfully integrated, significantly enhancing the company’s service centre capabilities.

GDPR Compliance

A custom GDPR/DPA check was developed and thoroughly tested to ensure full compliance with data protection regulations and safeguard customer data.

CI/CD-Aligned Test Strategy

The Testlead ensured that testing activities were fully embedded in the CI/CD pipeline, enabling:
