It’s really fast and easy to use.</span></p>

Simply specify no tests to run in the runTest parameter, you will revert to the old behavior of running all tests. You must intentionally try to use Fast Deploy!<u1:p></u1:p></span></p>

EACH CLASS / TRIGGER being deployed will be checked for 75% coverage.<u1:p></u1:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=" mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style=" font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: black;">4.</span><span style=" font-size: 7.0pt; color: black;"> </span><span style=" font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: black;">The 75% coverage must come from the tests specified to run. No credit is given for other tests that do not get run that would have provided coverage.<u1:p></u1:p></span></p>
