test class for trigger.oldMap trigger

trying to write the test class for below trigger:

trigger CMbeforeUpdate on CM__c (before Update) {
    List<CM__c> listCMUpdate = new List<CM__c>();
    for(CM__c cm : trigger.new) {
        if(cm.CM_Reason__c != trigger.oldMap.get(cm.id).CM__c 
            || cm.Location__c != trigger.oldMap.get(cm.id).Location__c
            
            || cm.Credit_LOB__c != trigger.oldMap.get(cm.id).Credit_LOB__c) {
            listCMUpdate.add(cm);
        }
    }
    if( listCMUpdate.size() > 0)
    { 
        CM_Handler.updateReasonCategoryCode(listCMUpdate);
        CM_Handler.CMapproverdetails(listCMUpdate);
    }    
}

but unable to cover testcoverage. Need help!

hi moloy, try below test class
 
@isTest
public class testSample {
static testMethod void testCheck() {
   CM__c cm= new CM__c();
    cm.name = 'test';
    cm.CM_Reason__c = 'test';
    cm.Location__c = 'test';
  // add test data for all required fields here
  
    insert cm; 
    
    cm.Location__c = 'test123';
    
    update cm;
   
  }
}

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 .

 I have tried the mentioned test class, but it's not covering the trigger. It's still showing 0%. Any other process is there. It's related to another handler class.

getting the below error:
System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: INVALID_OR_NULL_FOR_RESTRICTED_PICKLIST, Credit Memo Reason: bad value for restricted picklist field: test: [Credit_Memo_Reason__c]

ok got the errror solved while passing the exact field value

cool, if you got your solution, close this query by choosing best answer so it will make proper solution for other

@piyush_soni
yes the coverage is 70% now. Need to cover " listCMUpdate.add(cm);" part, How to do that?

Can you please help?
