  • Salesforce – Copado Integration v3.4
    A new Release Tracker experience is now available, providing a centralized view of quality and scan coverage across Copado releases. This integration helps Release Managers move away from manual, ad-hoc scanning and manage quality more effectively from a single place.
    The Release Tracker is available as a new tab within the Quality Clouds App’s Instance Details view and allows users to:
    • View all Copado User Stories linked to a specific release in one consolidated list.
    • Monitor key quality indicators, including Quality Gate status, issue counts, and items that have not yet been scanned.
    • Trigger scans in bulk for multiple user stories at once, reducing manual effort.
    • Quickly identify quality blockers that may prevent items from being ready for deployment.
  • This improvement enables earlier visibility into quality risks, ensures better scan coverage across releases, and simplifies release-level quality management.
    A new permission set was added to regular users (QCRegular) so they cant delete scans, issues or activate the Bypass Quality Clouds validation. QCAdmins still have this permission.

    ServiceNow Fix Scripts are now included in the inventory and analyzed as part of both Livecheck and Full Scan. Issues are identified based on the full set of applicable server-side scripting best practices, including OOTB modification rules, giving customers broader coverage and greater confidence that Fix Scripts meet quality and maintainability standards.

🌟 Improved

  • Teams Assignment Rules – Rule-Based Assignment Criteria
    Teams assignment rules now support Rule as a new assignment criterion, enabling customers to automatically route issues from Full Scans to the most relevant teams based on the rule that triggered them. This ensures clearer ownership, reduces manual coordination, and accelerates remediation by aligning issues with the teams best equipped to address them.

  • KPI Accuracy – Exclusion of False Positive Write-Offs
    Issues marked with a write-off reason of False Positive are now excluded from all KPIs, including issue counts, Technical Debt, and Quality of Cloud.

📚 Rules

New – Salesforce (Visual Force Pages)

  • Avoid Calling Visualforce Actions on Page Load
    Rule ID: SF-AVOID-ACTION-UPON-LOAD
    This rule detects Visualforce pages that call actions automatically on page load, which increases exposure to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. Enforcing this rule helps reduce security risk by ensuring actions are triggered only through explicit and secure user interactions.

  • Ensure Correct Encoding in Visualforce Style Tags
    Rule ID: SF-AVOID-STYLE-WRONG-ENCODING
    This rule checks for correct encoding in <style/> tags within Visualforce pages. Incorrect encoding can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Applying this rule helps prevent script injection through styles and strengthens front-end security.

  • Avoid Unescaped User-Controlled Values in Expression Language
    Rule ID: SF-AVOID-UNESCAPED-VALUES
    This rule identifies unescaped, user-controlled content used in Expression Language (EL). Using unescaped values can result in XSS vulnerabilities. Enforcing proper escaping helps teams protect applications from common injection attacks.

🔌 Fixed

New Metadata Security Rules

🚀New Metadata Security Rules

We’ve introduced a new set of Metadata Security Rules designed to strengthen governance around sensitive configuration changes in Salesforce.

These rules require proper review and approval before deploying critical elements such as IP ranges, API exposure, and data access via Profiles and Permission Sets.

By adding this layer of oversight, the update helps safeguard access controls, protect system integrity, and improve the overall security posture.

Introducing Projects

🚀 Introducing Projects for Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Office 365

We’re excited to announce Projects—a new way to organize your instances within a unified structure. With Projects, customers can group related instances together, making it easier to manage quality settings and laying the groundwork for future Project-based capabilities.

  • Salesforce: Every instance must be assigned to a single Project (an instance can only belong to one Project). Project assignments can be managed directly from the Instance Settings screen.
  • ServiceNow and Office 365: Project grouping is available but optional, giving you flexibility in how you organize your instances.

⚠️ Important: If you’re using the write-off propagation add-on, propagation will now follow the Project assignments of your instances.

New Rules released

🚀 Here are the newly released rules that have been released:

Salesforce – OperationWithHighCostInLoop

Rule ID: SF-AVOID-OPERATION-WITH-HIGH-COST-IN-LOOP – Prevents calling high-cost performance methods inside loops, as repeated calls can slow down application performance, especially in large organizations. To optimize efficiency, extract these method calls outside the loop and execute them only once.

Salesforce – AvoidNonRestrictiveQueries

Rule ID: SF-AVOID-NON-RESTRICTIVE-QUERIES – Prevents using unfiltered SOQL or SOSL queries, which can retrieve excessive data, leading to governor limit exceptions and impacting application stability. To optimize performance, always apply filters to limit the data retrieved.

Salesforce – QueueableWithoutFinalizer

Rule ID: SF-AVOID-QUEUEABLE-WITHOUT-FINALIZER – Prevents using the Queueable interface without a Finalizer, ensuring proper error recovery. Without a Finalizer, failures in Queueable actions can cause unhandled errors. To improve reliability, attach a Finalizer using System.attachFinalizer(Finalizer f).

Improved XLS exports

🚀 We’ve enhanced XLS exports to make sure files reach the right recipients.

⚡Now, when exporting issues, a notification will display the recipient’s email address, allowing you to confirm before sending and avoid accidental misdelivery.

This update gives you greater visibility and control, ensuring a more reliable export process.

User Management & Partners Accounts

🚀 As a Partner, you can now manage multiple accounts using the same email address while having unique usernames for each account.

🔐 This update enhances flexibility in account management and ensures secure password recovery using both the email and username.

⚠️ Please note: this upgrade will not change the Quality Clouds Ruleset—no new rules will be added, and your ignored rules remain unaffected.

Debt Manager Enhacement

🚀 We are strengthening Debt Manager by expanding information visibility, refining access, and enabling more effective user actions such as:

👉 Write-Off Access Control

Admins will enable or disable Write-Off permissions per user, ensuring only authorized users can see and perform Write-Off actions.

🎯 Issue ID Visibility across Environments

The “Also Spotted In” tab will display an Issue ID column, making it easier to track the same issue across environments.
