Description

Salesforce deployments fail for predictable reasons. Missing dependencies, API mismatches, and metadata quirks top the list. Most solutions surface these problems after your deployment has already failed. You spend hours debugging error messages or risk pushing broken changes to production.

Gearset’s problem analyzers catch issues before they happen. This walkthrough shows how Gearset scans your deployment package to detect common failure causes and suggests one-click fixes — all before you deploy.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify components and their related dependencies from a single view
  • Catch missing or changed dependencies before deployment
  • Fix metadata-specific issues with clear explanations
  • Take action quickly with one-click resolutions
  • Deploy with confidence knowing potential errors are flagged early

Whether you’re releasing to production or managing complex pipelines, Gearset’s problem analyzers help you anticipate errors and maintain control over your Salesforce changes.

Hi there. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at how Gearset's intelligent deployment problem analyzers help to catch issues and to ensure successful deployments.

Salesforce deployments fail for predictable reasons. Missing dependencies, API mismatches, and metadata quirks are a common three. However, most tools will only surface these problems after a deployment has already failed, causing you to have to start from the very top and spend hours debugging your error messages or even worse pushing through broken changes into production.

Alternatively, Gearset catches the problem before it even happens, and this is why Gearset customers see a ninety eight percent deployment success rate.

Let's jump in.

Gearset's in-depth understanding of Salesforce metadata means that from a single view, I can find the component I'm looking to deploy as well as any and all related dependencies.

Gearset will even suggest components that should be included. In this way, I can ensure I'm always getting the full picture of what is needed for success before rather than after a deployment.

If I was to accidentally, however, miss something before any deployment, Gearset's problem analyzers will scan the package to detect and fix any common causes of deployment failure, such as any missing or change dependencies or any metadata specific issues.

This falls into Gearset's shift left approach where potential issues are flagged at the earliest point to minimize impact.

Moreover, Gearset's problem analyzers are more than just warnings, but rather they will suggest one click fixes to add missing components or provide clear explanations as to why a fix is needed.

Ultimately, Gearset helps to put the control back into the user as they are able to successfully anticipate any potential errors and take action on a resolution quickly at the earliest convenience.
