14.1What belongs in external automation?
Use external automation to prove things MUnit cannot:
real deployed Mule endpoint works
real authentication works
real Salesforce connector works
real SOQL/schema/permissions work
real environment configuration is correct
Salesforce records are actually created/updated
asynchronous processing really completes
idempotency works against real infrastructure
MUnit can simulate Salesforce.
External tests prove Salesforce actually participates correctly.
