Test Class for Trigger

Hi..I have finished writting a trigger I need to write a test class

 

do i need to create a new apex class and write the test class or can i just write the test class in the trigger itself starting my code with @isTest

 

It was giving me an error when I am trying to start the test class where the trigger ended.

Hi bylithium,

 

you need to create a new Apex TestClass to test the trigger;

 

@isTest is only available on Apex Class, not in trigger

Creating a new Apex class for testing is better. Refer Apex guide for more details.
