Same object… different experience. That’s where bugs hide.
What to Validate:
- Correct record type is assigned per user/profile
- Page layout matches the record type
- Required fields differ correctly per record type
- Picklist values change based on record type
How to Test:
- Create records with different record types
- Login as different users/profiles
- Verify:
- Visible fields
- Required fields
- Available picklist values
- Section layout
Common Bugs:
- Wrong layout shown for a record type
- Missing or extra fields
- Incorrect picklist values
- Required fields not enforced.
- Users see fields they shouldn’t.
Pro Tip:
Same record ≠ same UI. Test with multiple profiles.
