Website integration - staging version

Hi there,

 

We are developing a website for a client, and we need to integrate with Salesforce.  They already have a Salesforce account set-up and configured, which they have been using for some time, and I'm sure the developer documentation will be sufficient for us to handle the API requests.

 

However, I have not been able to discover how to perform our testing during the development phase.  Obviously, we cannot use their live data set, as the website will be pushing data into Salesforce.  We therefore need to set up a test environment.

 

What is the best way of doing this?  I have signed up to Developerforce, but I can't seem to find an easy way of importing the configuration and data from the client's account (there is a Data Export page and various separate import functions, but I'm not sure that these do what I want).  Am I going about this the right way?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Apologies if this is covered in the documentation somewhere, but if it is I have been unable to locate it.  Feel free to direct me to the relevant place if this is already covered elsewhere.

 

Kind regards,

 

- Mark

You can create a Developer/Config Only sandbox for your Production Environment and carry out all the testing in the Sandbox.
