Determine trigger status in test method

Is there a way to determine the status of a trigger (active/inactive) in a test method?

I have tests that have assert() calls in them that assume the trigger is active. If I need to deactivate the trigger, I then need to go and change the test so that it still passes. It would be nice to be able to do something like:

if (trigger.status='Active'){

  System.assert(trigger was fired);

}

you can use below SOQL query on apextrigger object :

 

ApexTrigger aa = [Select id,a.Status From ApexTrigger a where Status ='Active'];

 

Did this answer your question? if so, please mark it solved.
