Developer Console can help inspect code, execute authorized development queries and examine logs in a training organization. Access depends on permissions and the operation.
Before you begin
Use an authorized development or training organization with fictional records. Record the object names, permissions and configuration used so that someone else can reproduce the exercise.
Work through the idea
First describe the business requirement and the records involved. Keep the exercise separate from a live organization's data and change process. Platform behavior can depend on permissions and configuration; verify those conditions rather than assuming an administrator's result applies to every user.
- Open a known sample class
- Run a read-only query on fictional records
- Inspect a controlled execution log
Practice task
Use a development org to investigate why a small sample method produces an unexpected result.
Check your result
Record the input, relevant log evidence and a proposed correction without exposing sensitive records.
A mistake to avoid
Do not use ad hoc production execution as a substitute for reviewed deployment and testing.
Keep a review note
Save the inputs or scenario, your reasoning and the result you checked. Explain one assumption and one case that needs more work. Revise the exercise after feedback and distinguish what you demonstrated from what remains untested.
