Test Templates

Overview 

Test templates are building blocks for test cases. A test template simply contains a list of fields (from one or more objects) you specify to test. When you create a test case, you select a test template as the basis and all the fields specified in the template get included in the test case. You can reuse a test template as the basis for multiple test cases.

For example: create a test template for use with test cases that use the Salesforce CPQ Calculate Quote API to determine if Salesforce updates introduce regressions in your CPQ pricing calculations.
