Design and implementation of a tool for improving continuous delivery process for declarative development on the Salesforce platform

In the world of digital transformation and growing dependence on information technologies, low-code and no-code tools are increasingly being promoted. Low-code tools require minimal development, while no-code tools completely eliminate the need for development. These tools enable fast and efficient creation of business applications and software solutions. However, despite their many advantages, the Continuous Delivery process in the context of deploying files created using declarative tools (low-code and no-code) on the Salesforce platform still faces certain problems. The main objective of this thesis is to design and implement a tool to improve the Continuous Delivery process for declarative development on the Salesforce platform, focusing on addressing the identified issues associated with this process. Various methods and approaches were used to achieve the objective of this thesis. Research was conducted to analyse the current state of declarative tools and their deployment methods. The methodology for smaller software projects (MMSP) was applied for the design, implementation, and testing of the tool. For the evaluation of the tool, a feedback collection methodology was employed, which involved online meetings, code and functionality presentations, discussions, and assessments, aiming to gather feedback and identify strengths and areas for improvement. The result of this thesis is a functional tool that improves the Continuous Delivery process for declarative development on the Salesforce platform.
