Help needed to write test class for trigger

 

Hi,

i am a beginner i managed to create the below trigger to update the primary address after address update. .  

 

can any one help me writing a test class for it.

 

thanks in advance for your help.


trigger updatePrimaryAddress on Address__c (after insert, after update) {
    List <String> ContactIds= new List<String>();
     For(Address__c ad : trigger.new)
     {
       ContactIds.add(ad.Contact__c);
     }
     List<contact>contacts = [Select Id, Name, Primary_address__c From contact Where id IN:contactIds];
     Map<String,contact>contactMap = New Map<String,contact>(); 
     For(contact c : contacts)
     {
       contactMap.Put(c.id, c);
     }
     List<contact> ctUpdates = New List<contact>();
     For(address__c ad : Trigger.new)
     {
       system.debug('Entered for loop');
        if(ad.Is_Primary_address__c==TRUE)
        {
         contact ct = contactMap.get(ad.contact__c);
                
                system.debug(ct.Id);
                ct.Primary_address__c=ct.id;
                ctUpdates.add(ct);
        }else
        {
        contact ct = contactMap.get(ad.contact__c);
                
                system.debug(ct.Id);
                ct.Primary_address__c=null;
                ctUpdates.add(ct);
         }
     }
   update ctUpdates;    
}

To write a test method for trigger just need to insert record or update record and your trigger will be executed( tested).


Find below a sample test method :

static testMethod void myTestMethod()
{
 Contact con= new Contact(lastName='testName',email='abc@gmail.com');
 insert con;

 Address__c ad1=new Address__c(contact__c=con.id,is_Primary_address__c=true);    // positive case
 insert ad1;

 Address__c ad2=new Address__c(contact__c=con.id,is_Primary_address__c=false);    // Negative case
 insert ad2;

// do the same for update record
}
