You can give other Salesforce users
a chance to test drive a read-only version of your app in a Developer
Edition organization. This organization, which includes any sample
data you choose, is as safe and secure as any other Salesforce environment.
Test drives count toward your popularity ranking.
To associate a test drive with your listing:
- When creating or editing your listing, on the Offering tab click Create Test Drive.
- Enter a title.
- Select the package. It will be installed in a new Developer Edition
organization.
- Click Submit. Salesforce sends
information about the new Developer edition organization to your Salesforce user email
address.
- Once you receive login information, log in as the administrator
to the new organization and create sample data or other setup tasks.
- Once the organization is ready, go back to the AppExchange Publishing page.
- Click Edit on the target listing.
- On the Offering tab, click Change Organization to specify the new Developer edition organization.
- Enter the evaluation user's login and password that was sent to
you with the administrator credentials. (The evaluation user's password
cannot end with #).The evaluation user has
read-only permissions.
- Click OK.
Once your listing is published, everyone who takes the test drive
is logged in as the same evaluation user.
