Hi Anju,

You write test class like this for page ref. 

Controller:

public with sharing class ClockPageController {
    public string test{get;set;}

    public ClockPageController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
            }
     public PageReference viewCalendar()
    {
        PageReference page =new PageReference('/00U/c');
        page.setRedirect(true);
        return page;
    }
}

TestClass:

@isTest
public with sharing class testClockPageController
{
public static testMethod void test()
{
    Image_Upload__c img = new Image_Upload__c();
    Apexpages.StandardController controller = new Apexpages.StandardController(img);
    ClockPageController clok = new ClockPageController(controller);
    clok.viewCalendar();
    system.assertEquals(img.id,null);

}
}

Mark this as best answer if its helps.

Thanks

Call the method from test class and it should not return null.
System.assert(controller.someMethod() != null);

You can also use PageReference class methods to assert the Page Name, query parameters  etc.

Hi @Praveen: Your test class looks meaningless. What is the use of assert statement like this?

Hi Bhawani,

I wrote the class. just for an example of pagereference in test class. Agree with you assert stmt should not be like this.

Thanks.
