Testing of Record Extract API before rolling to production can prevent issues down the line. The following are some types for effective testing:
TIP: Use Summary APIs
The getRecordSummary API, as well as getForms, getResources and getLocations are a fast way to ensure the filters are returning the expected results for a given time frame. These APIs run faster than full details, and checking total counts is often easier than validating each result.
TIP: Validate Against LINK Results
Use LINK to validate that Record Extract APIs are returning the same totals as your parameters in APis.
Note:
LINK returns data in the user’s time zone. Counts may not match if the correct time zone offset setting is not provided.
