How can you ensure a Selenium test runs only when a community profile is deployed?

To ensure that a Selenium test runs only when a community profile is deployed, selecting the Profile as Metadata Type and filtering by Community is essential. This approach directly associates the Selenium test execution with the deployment of community profiles. By filtering specifically for Community profiles within your test configuration, the test is only triggered during the deployment process of those particular profiles.

This targeted filtering mechanism is crucial because it establishes a clear condition under which the tests should execute, thereby streamlining the testing process and avoiding unnecessary runs when other non-community profiles are deployed. It adheres to best practices in testing, where tests are run in relevant contexts to ensure accurate results and efficient use of resources.

The other options provided do not accurately address the requirement to restrict the test execution specific to community profile deployments. While the use of Metadata Items or Advanced Metadata Names could be relevant in different contexts, they do not provide the targeted filtering necessary to ensure the Selenium test correlates strictly to community profile deployments. Similarly, defining a quality gate on all commits focuses on overall quality management rather than specific deployment triggers associated with community profiles.
