Sorry bug in my example:

sVisit.RecordType = new RecordType();
sVisit.RecordType.Name = '';

Hi,
check your code some values are not passed sVisit. 
GlynAGlynA
Your test code doesn't seem to be the problem.  The exception must be getting thrown from the code you are testing.  Can you post that please?

Start with how you are setting the record type name. the RecordType object reference is likely null so when you attempt to do "RecordType.Name" RecordType is null. 

try:
sVisit = new RecordType();
sVisit.RecordType.Name = '';

If you get passed this and there is still an error then it is likely in a trigger associated with your visit object

Sorry bug in my example:

sVisit.RecordType = new RecordType();
sVisit.RecordType.Name = '';
This was selected as the best answer
GlynAGlynA
@Thomasm,

The trigger won't have the record "b.recordtype" (it will be null).  Instead of comparing b.recordtype.name with a string, do this:

Id desiredRecordTypeID = [SELECT Id FROM RecordType WHERE Name = 'DM_of_Ops_Quality_Audit_Househeeping'][0].Id;

then compare

... && b.recordtypeid == desiredRecordTypeID
