What must a user have to visualize results with expected outcomes in automated flow tests?

To visualize results with expected outcomes in automated flow tests, having appropriate permissions in the user settings is essential. This requirement ensures that users can access the necessary tools and data within Salesforce to initiate and run automated tests effectively. Proper permissions enable users to see flow performance, review results, and understand how the automation interacts with the data involved in the process.

In practice, without these permissions, users may face restrictions that prevent them from executing tests or viewing how the flows perform against expected conditions. This could lead to missed insights or an inability to identify potential errors or improvements in the automation processes.

The other options provided do not directly support the ability to visualize outcomes in automated flow tests. For instance, manual user intervention at each step contradicts the concept of automation itself. A development account can be useful but is not a strict requirement for testing flows. Finally, a special view mode is not a standard feature or necessity for visualizing the results in context with expected outcomes. Thus, having the correct permissions is the foundational element needed to access and analyze the results of these automated tests.
