Help creating a testClass

Hi all - I am totally stumped. I have been trying to figure out how to create  a test class for the following class and I just can't get it to do it's thing. Any help?
 
trigger AssociatedSessions on Group__c (after insert) {

	List<Session__c> session = new List<Session__c>();

Try to create multiple record like this

Something else to keep in mind: I have multiple time and date fields required when a record is created. Do all of these fields need to be specified in the test class?
Abhishek BansalAbhishek Bansal
Hi Greer,

Please find the test class for your trigger below:
@isTest 
private class AssociatedSessionsTest {
	static testMethod void testMethod1() {
		List<Group__c> listOfGrouops = new List<Group__c>();
		
		Group__c testGroup1 = new Group__c();
		testGroup1.Start_Date__c = Date.today();
		testGroup1.End_Date__c = Date.today().addDays(15);
		testGroup1.Frequency__c = 'weekly';
		//Add other required field here
		listOfGrouops.add(testGroup1);
		
		Group__c testGroup2 = new Group__c();
		testGroup2.Start_Date__c = Date.today();
		testGroup2.End_Date__c = Date.today().addDays(20);
		testGroup2.Frequency__c = 'daily';
		//Add other required field here
		listOfGrouops.add(testGroup2);
		
		Group__c testGroup3 = new Group__c();
		testGroup3.Start_Date__c = Date.today();
		testGroup3.End_Date__c = Date.today().addDays(30);
		testGroup3.Frequency__c = 'biweekly';
		//Add other required field here
		listOfGrouops.add(testGroup3);
		
		Group__c testGroup4 = new Group__c();
		testGroup4.Start_Date__c = Date.today();
		testGroup4.End_Date__c = Date.today().addDays(40);
		testGroup4.Frequency__c = 'monthly';
		//Add other required field here
		listOfGrouops.add(testGroup4);
		
		Test.startTest();
			insert listOfGrouops;
		Test.stopTest();
	}
}

Please adjust the field values as per your trigger condtions and also add the values for required values. Please let me know if you need any further help on this.

Thanks,
Abhishek Bansal.

I will recommend you to start using trailhead to learn about test classes
1) https://trailhead.salesforce.com/modules/apex_testing

Also please check below post
1) https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_qs_test.htm
2) https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_testing_example.htm
3) http://amitsalesforce.blogspot.com/2015/06/best-practice-for-test-classes-sample.html

You write a test class for this the same way that you would any other:

- Set up some data for the trigger to access (in this case it looks like Group__c  records)
- Instantiate the Trigger- By insert
- Execute a method/methods:- uperform insert
- Verify the behaviour with asserts.

NOTE:- Days_of_the_Week__c field is editable then create record for full week.

Sample test class for you to start
@isTest 
private class AssociatedSessionsTest 
{
	static testMethod void testMethod1() 
	{
		List<Group__c> listOfGrouops = new List<Group__c>();
		
		Group__c testGroup1 = new Group__c();
			testGroup1.Start_Date__c = Date.today();
			testGroup1.End_Date__c = Date.today().addDays(15);
			testGroup1.Frequency__c = 'weekly';
			testGroup1.Days_of_the_Week__c = 'Monday'; // Set Day of field as well if that is editable
			testGroup1.Begins_on_a__c =1; // Set this field as well if that is editable
			// Add all required field here
		listOfGrouops.add(testGroup1);
		
		Group__c testGroup2 = new Group__c();
			testGroup2.Start_Date__c = Date.today();
			testGroup2.End_Date__c = Date.today().addDays(20);
			testGroup2.Frequency__c = 'daily';
			testGroup2.Days_of_the_Week__c = 'Monday'; // Set Day of field as well if that is editable
			testGroup2.Begins_on_a__c =1; // Set this field as well if that is editable
			// Add all required field here
		listOfGrouops.add(testGroup2);
		
		
		Group__c testGroup3 = new Group__c();
			testGroup3.Start_Date__c = Date.today();
			testGroup3.End_Date__c = Date.today().addDays(30);
			testGroup3.Frequency__c = 'biweekly';
			testGroup3.Days_of_the_Week__c = 'Monday'; // Set Day of field as well if that is editable
			testGroup3.Begins_on_a__c =1; // Set this field as well if that is editable
			// Add all required field here
		listOfGrouops.add(testGroup3);
		
		Group__c testGroup4 = new Group__c();
			testGroup4.Start_Date__c = Date.today();
			testGroup4.End_Date__c = Date.today().addDays(40);
			testGroup4.Frequency__c = 'monthly';
			testGroup4.Days_of_the_Week__c = 'Monday'; // Set Day of field as well if that is editable
			testGroup4.Begins_on_a__c =1; // Set this field as well if that is editable
			// Add all required field here
		listOfGrouops.add(testGroup4);



		
		Test.startTest();
			insert listOfGrouops;
		Test.stopTest();
	}
}

Please follow below salesforce Best Practice for Test Classes :-

1. Test class must start with @isTest annotation if class class version is more than 25
2. Test environment support @testVisible , @testSetUp as well
3. Unit test is to test particular piece of code working properly or not .
4. Unit test method takes no argument ,commit no data to database ,send no email ,flagged with testMethod keyword .
5. To deploy to production at-least 75% code coverage is required
6. System.debug statement are not counted as a part of apex code limit.
7. Test method and test classes are not counted as a part of code limit
9. We should not focus on the  percentage of code coverage ,we should make sure that every use case should covered including positive, negative,bulk and single record .
Single Action -To verify that the the single record produces the correct an expected result .
Bulk action -Any apex record trigger ,class or extension must be invoked for 1-200 records .
Positive behavior : Test every expected behavior occurs through every expected permutation , i,e user filled out every correctly data and not go past the limit .
Negative Testcase :-Not to add future date , Not to specify negative amount.
Restricted User :-Test whether a user with restricted access used in your code .
10. Test class should be annotated with @isTest .
11 . @isTest annotation with test method  is equivalent to testMethod keyword .
12. Test method should static and no void return type .
13. Test class and method default access is private ,no matter to add access specifier .
14. classes with @isTest annotation can't be a interface or enum .
15. Test method code can't be invoked by non test request .
16. Stating with salesforce API 28.0 test method can not reside inside non test classes .
17. @Testvisible annotation to make visible private methods inside test classes.
18. Test method can not be used to test web-service call out . Please use call out mock .
19. You can't  send email from test method.
20.User, profile, organization, AsyncApexjob, Corntrigger, RecordType, ApexClass, ApexComponent ,ApexPage we can access without (seeAllData=true) .
21. SeeAllData=true will not work for API 23 version eailer .
22. Accessing static resource test records in test class e,g List<Account> accList=Test.loadData(Account,SobjectType,'ResourceName').
23. Create TestFactory class with @isTest annotation to exclude from organization code size limit .
24. @testSetup to create test records once in a method  and use in every test method in the test class .
25. We can run unit test by using Salesforce Standard UI,Force.com IDE ,Console ,API.
26. Maximum number of test classes run per 24 hour of period is  not grater of 500 or 10 multiplication of test classes of your organization.
27. As apex runs in system mode so the permission and record sharing are not taken into account . So we need to use system.runAs to enforce record sharing .
28. System.runAs will not enforce user permission or field level permission .
29. Every test to runAs count against the total number of DML issued in the process .

Thank you so much for the responses!

Amit - I have so much more to learn about apex its crazy. Thank you so much for the Best Practices.

So this code is a great starting point, but I'm wondering about next steps. Right now I am only at 21% code coverage. Do I now need to test that the sessions (the child records that are to be inserted on the creation of the group record) have been created correctly?

That's what I thought would do the trick, but I just tried and it doens't seem to have an affect on my code. For instance here is a code to test a Group that was created that starts on a Monday:
User-added image

And my code still appears like this

User-added image

Please try weekly in lower case.

Still doesn't work Amit. Any other ideas? Ugh sorry this is such a pain!
Greer Zimmerman 5Greer Zimmerman 5
I have found that the order of the testGroups in the test class effects which code gets coverage in the trigger - does that illuminate anything at all?
Greer Zimmerman 5Greer Zimmerman 5
it goes between 16% and 20% based on the order of the test groups
