Measures reported by SfSalesObjTest

API objects represent database tables that contain your organization's information. For example, the central object in the Salesforce data model represents accounts-companies and organizations involved with your business, such as customers, partners, and competitors.

The term “record” describes a particular occurrence of an object (such as a specific account like “IBM” or “United Airlines” that is represented by an Account object).

Objects already created for you by Salesforce are called standard objects. Objects you create in your organization are called custom objects. Objects you create that map to data stored outside your organization are called external objects.

The table below lists the key standard objects and describes their purpose:

Object Name Purpose
Account Represents an individual account, which is an organization or person involved with your business (such as customers, competitors, and partners).
Asset Represents an item of commercial value, such as a product sold by your company or a competitor, that a customer has purchased and installed.
Campaign Represents and tracks a marketing campaign, such as a direct mail promotion, webinar, or trade show.
Case Represents a case, which is a customer issue or problem
Contact Represents a contact, which is a person associated with an account.
Contract Represents a contract (a business agreement) associated with an Account.
Lead Represents a prospect or lead
Opportunity Represents an opportunity, which is a sale or pending deal.
Organization Represents key configuration information for an organization.
Partner Represents a partner relationship between two Account records or between an Opportunity record and an Account record.
Quote The Quote object represents a quote, which is a record showing proposed prices for products and services.

All objects consume valuable space in the Salesforce database. However, since standard objects pre-exist in the database, these objects tend to influence database sizing decisions more. This is why, when planning the future capacity of the database, administrators should not only consider how many standard objects of what types pre-exist, but also understand how that number has been growing over time. Additionally, by observing the growth rate of standard objects, administrators will also be able to business are faring well, and which may require more attention. Using the SfSalesObjTest test, administrators can receive these useful insights!

This test monitors the standard objects listed in the table above, and reports the count of objects of each type that are currently in the database. Additionally, the test also observes how the population of each object type has been growing over time, and accordingly reports the growth rate of every type. This will point administrators to the object types that will probably require more space in the future than the rest, and thus help them draw out fail-proof capacity plans for the future. The growth rates also reveal to administrators if business is booming or not!

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Salesforce organization being monitored

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Accounts Indicates the number of Account objects that exist in the database. Number Track the changes to the values of these measures over time to spot the standard object type that is growing consistently in strength. Depending upon the type of objects that is growing, you can decide if there is cause for concern or not. For instance, a growth in the number of Cases is worrisome; whereas, a growth in the count of Contracts is a sign that business is healthy.

Account_growth_rate Indicates the rate at which the count of Account objects is growing in the database. Percent Compare the value of this measure with that of the other ‘growth rate’ measures reported by this test to identify the standard objects that are growing in strength at a much higher rate than the rest. When sizing the database, administrators should make sure that there is enough room for this ‘growth’. If not, a serious database space crunch will become inevitable.
