5.33A great QA/developer use case: reconciliation
Say Mule imports:
10,000 customer records
Don't test only:
request returned success
You might perform:
count target records
sample IDs
compare key fields
find missing IDs
find unexpected duplicates
SOQL:
SELECT COUNT()
FROM Account
WHERE Import_Batch_ID__c = 'BATCH-817'
Then:
SELECT
External_Customer_ID__c,
Name
FROM Account
WHERE Import_Batch_ID__c = 'BATCH-817'
This is directly useful for both development debugging and automation.
