Code Coverage Help in Trigger

Hello,  could someone help get my code to have at least 75% code coverage.  I have a catch at the end but when I try to deploy, it says my code coverage is at 0%.  Thank you!
 
trigger createPEActivity on Task (after insert) {
    
    List <SBI_Activity__c> vehToInsert = new List <SBI_Activity__c> ();
    // or whatever your custom object name put instead of RGS_Activity__c
    
    for (Task t : Trigger.new) {
        
        
        // here is where you check if emailmessage that is being inserted
        //meets the criteria
        if (t.OwnerId == '0050f000009ykPo') {
        
        SBI_Activity__c v = new SBI_Activity__c (); //instantiate the object to put values for future record
        
        // now map emailmessage fields to new rgsactivity object that is being created with this emailmessage
        
        v.recordtypeid = '0126f000000Wkk8';
        v.Notes__c = t.Description;
        v.Contact__c = t.WhoId;
        V.Primary_RGM_Phase__c = 'PENDING';
        v.Activity__c = 'PENDING';
        v.Channel__c = 'Human engagement';
        v.Activity_Date__c = t.ActivityDate; // and so on so forth untill you map all the fields. 
        
        //once done, you need to add this new object to the list that would be later inserted. 
        //don't worry about the details for now
        
        vehToInsert.add(v);
        
        
        }//end if
        
    }//end for t
    
    //once loop is done, you need to insert new records in SF
    // dml operations might cause an error, so you need to catch it with try/catch block.
    try{insert vehToInsert;}catch (System.QueryException qe){} 
}

Hey Sarah,

Have you tried writing any test code? If yes please provide it and we will try to fix in that code. 
 

The developer community recommends providing any attempts/code you've started, any errors you're getting, or where exactly you're struggling in achieving this while posting a question.


Thanks!

Hi Priya,

Thanks for your quick response! I have not written test code.  I've seen @test in other forums but I am not exactly sure what I would need to write in that.  Would it be the same code?  I attached the error I recieve when I try to validate this trigger in production before I deploy it.User-added image

I would advise you going thorugh the following articles -

1)https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_testing_unit_tests.htm.

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 .

Please check and complete your test method complete you test method-


@isTest
private class UnitTest1 {
    @isTest static void MyUnitTestMethod() {              
      //Create a Task record and insert 
      //Task taskCreate = new Task(WhatId = a.Id,Status = 'Completed',Priority = 'Normal',Subject = 'Dummy subject' ,ActivityDate = system.today());
insert taskCreate;
          //Create a sbi activity record and insert 
        insert
    }
}
