Marni How to test Apex Trigger
I am new to Apex and am having an issue moving a trigger I created in Sandbox through a Change Set to production. The trigger I created is working great but when I try the Change Set it does not validate because it says I need to test the trigger. I was reading about Apex Test Methods but am a little confused as to how to I execute the test. Any help on next steps would be greatly appreciated! The trigger I need to test is:
trigger CoverageLetterTask on Claim__c (before update) {
List<Task> tasks = new List<Task>();
for(Claim__c claim : Trigger.new){
if(claim.Task_created__c != null &&
claim.Task_created__c == false &&
claim.Approval_Received__c == true &&
claim.Insured__c != 'Catholic Health East'){
//Do your Task creation
Task CoverageTask= new Task();
CoverageTask.ActivityDate = claim.LVL_Received_Date__c + 30;
CoverageTask.WhatId = claim.id;
CoverageTask.OwnerId = claim.Assigned_Examiner2__c;
CoverageTask.Priority = 'Normal';
CoverageTask.Status = 'Not Started';
CoverageTask.Subject = claim.Program_ID__c + ' Coverage Letter -- ' + claim.Insured__C + ' -- ' + claim.Claimant_Name__c;
//Add the Task
tasks.add(CoverageTask);
//Update the field on Claim so this isn't done again
claim.Task_Created__c = true;
}
}
insert tasks;
}
Hi,
You need to write test class which does the below operation like in your test class with test data you need to perform an insert on the claim__c object.
@isTest
private class TestCoverageLetterTask {
private static testMethod void testCoverageLetterTaskMethod() {
Test.StartTest();
// Here you code to insert in to Claim__c object..
Test.StopTest();
}
}

That worked! And I had multiple triggers on the Claim Object and was able to create multiple claim updates in the one class and got 100% Code Coverage! Thanks for your help on this!
