For which type of flows are tests available?

Record-triggered flows are designed to run automatically in response to changes in records, such as the creation or updating of a record. Testing these flows is crucial because it helps ensure that the various conditions and criteria set within the flow perform as expected when triggered by specific record changes. By providing a robust testing framework for record-triggered flows, Salesforce allows developers to validate their logic, ensure data integrity, and verify that the intended actions are carried out correctly without causing unintended consequences to the business processes.

In contrast, while other flow types may also have their importance and functionality, they do not have the same level of testing framework available. For example, screen flows require user interaction, which makes automated testing more complex. Schedule-triggered flows see limited testing capabilities primarily due to their reliance on external timing events rather than direct user actions or record changes. Similarly, autolaunched flows, which are invoked from other processes rather than individual records, do not have the built-in testing environment tailored specifically for testing their execution upon record changes. Hence, the availability of testing for record-triggered flows is uniquely positioned to support the reliable automation of business processes within Salesforce.
