For accessing formula field you need to insert or update the record and after that query on object and get the value of formula field for updated or inserted record. for example check the following ex.In below code count__c is a formula field
Account accInstance = new Account();
accInstance.Name = 'Test';
accInstance.NumberOfEmployees = 10;
insert accInstance;
accInstance = [SELECT Id, Quant__c FROM Account Where Name = 'Test'];
System.debug('>>>accInstance :' + accInstance);
Manually you cannot put value in formula field.

Hi try to set the record created date to past date try something like this

createddate=system.today()-30days;

system.today() - createddate.

createddate is a nonwriteable field we cannot update that so query on some old records and check there studentjoinage field value and it will work

Thank you Santosh S, the links you have shared are very helpful.
Test.setCreatedDate(a.Id, DateTime.newInstance(2012,12,12));

Hi Learn sfdc 24,

Spring '16 release notes (http://docs.releasenotes.salesforce.com/en-us/spring16/release-notes/rn_apex_new_classes_methods.htm#rn_apex_new_classes_methods_changed_classes) document a new system method supporting this:
Steps :
Just create a new DateTime object
use Test.setCreatedDate to set the dateTime for the createdDate of that object

Use the below sample code :
  
Account account = new Account(Name = 'Test'); insert account; 
Datetime yesterday = Datetime.now().addDays(-1);
Test.setCreatedDate(account.Id, yesterday);

Let me know if it helps.


Thanks and Regards,
Shiva RV

Hello everyone, in my case I needed to test a class that needs an opportunity created with yesterday's date, I used the model below to solve the problem. 
@isTest
private class GetRescue300kTest {    
       
    @testSetup
    static void setup(){

        Account ct = new Account();   
        ct.CPF__c = '123.123.123-12'; 
        ct.FirstName = 'CELIO';
        ct.LastName = 'XAVIER';               
        insert ct;         
      
        Opportunity op = new Opportunity();         
        op.Name = 'R5555'; 
        op.Loss_Reason__c = 'Bloqueio Judicial'; 
        op.AccountId = ct.Id;        
        op.StageName = 'Resgatado'; 
                               op.Reported_Value__c = 500000;        
        op.Amount = 500000; 
        insert op;  
                               
        Datetime yesterday = Datetime.now().addDays(-1);
        Test.setCreatedDate(ct.Id, yesterday);     
        Test.setCreatedDate(op.Id, yesterday);
    } 
    @isTest
    static void testRescue300k(){            
        Test.startTest();       
        System.assertEquals(false, op.isEmpty());  
        GetRescue300k test = new GetRescue300k();         
        test.executeLog();            
    }    
}

Use Test.setCreatedDate(recordId, Datetime.now().addDays(-1)) after the DML operation. It will work
@Célio Xavier code is also the same.
