Hi I want to write a test case for a method which throws custom exception, how can i achieve.

Method containing custom exception
/*
public static decimal CelsiusToKelvin (decimal degree)
    {
        if(degree<-273.16)
        { result = -273.16;
           throw new InvalidDataException('Value cannot be less than -273.16');
        }
}

*/

My Test method
class TemperatureTest {
@isTest static void testCelsiusToKelvin()
{
//What to do here?
}
}

@Ram

In your test method write something like this with your class name
  
SampleClass.CelsiusToKelvin(-300);

This is the sample class i have tried and it has 100% coverage.

SampleClass
  
public class SampleClass {
    public static decimal CelsiusToKelvin (decimal degree)
    {
        Decimal result=0;
        try{
        if(degree<-273.16)
        { 
            result = -273.16;
            throw new ArihantException('Value cannot be less than -273.16');
        }
        }catch(Exception e){
            
        }
        return result;
    }
}

SampleClassTest
  
@isTest
public class SampleClassTest {
    @isTest static void testTemp(){
        SampleClass.CelsiusToKelvin(-300);
    }
}

Let me know if you have other questions. If this works for you mark this reply as best answer.

Thanks.

Hi, 
lnalluri, thnk for your reply, How will you check this test class passed using System.assertion.
bcz I am getting error, as the method CelsiusToKelvin() will return the exception.

System.assertEquals(//what to do);

Hi pls help with the above program, how can i write a negative test case. 
How to check if custom exception have been thrown? using system.assert methods.

Hi @Ram you can use a boolean flag for testing and asserts in test class
I'm attaching a sample code for the same  
public class SampleClass {
    public Boolean flag = false;
    public decimal CelsiusToKelvin (decimal degree)
    {
        
        Decimal result=0;
        try{
            if(degree<-273.16)
            { 
                result = -273.16;
                throw new CustomException('Value cannot be less than -273.16');
            }
        }catch(Exception e){
            flag = true;
        }
        return result;
    }
}
Sample Test class for the same 
@isTest
public class SampleClassTest {
    @isTest static void testTemp(){
        SampleClass obj = new SampleClass();
        obj.CelsiusToKelvin(-300);
        System.assertEquals(true,obj.flag);
    }
}

Hope this will help if yes then give a thumbs up.
