Confused Test Class Newbie needs help.

Hey Salesforce brilliance, 

I am trying to deploy my trigger but I need to compose a test class and to be quite honest I am clueless and aloof at my begining stages of Apex-ing' . Could someone here please provide me with a little guidence, code perhaps and maybe addition educational documentation to make sense of this all so I can continue my journey to be half as great as many of you here. 

Happy Holidays And thank you very much

-Chad 

Trigger is here:

trigger Job_Description_Transfer on Job_Contract__c (before update, before insert) {

//create a set of job descriptions      
  
    set<Id> Ids = new Set <Id>();         
    for (Job_Contract__c japp: Trigger.new) {           
        Ids.add(japp.Related_Job__c);  // This is thelookup field to description__c in Job_Contract__c
    }
  
    Map<Id, Opportunity> mapDescription = New Map<Id, Opportunity>([SELECT Id, Description FROM Opportunity WHERE Id IN :Ids]);
  
    if(trigger.isUpdate){ 
  
        for(Job_Contract__c jaTrigger : trigger.new) {
          
            jaTrigger.Job_Description__c = mapDescription.get(jaTrigger.Related_Job__c).Description;
          
        }
        }

Hi Chad Davis,

Please write TestClass as below for your Trigger.
goto Apex Class and click on New button from Setup.

@isTest
private class TestClassForJobContractTrigger {
static testMethod void validateTrigger() {

test.startTest();
Account acc = new Account(name='T1 Account');
// Insert account
insert acc;
// Retrieve account
acc = [SELECT Id,Name FROM account WHERE Id =:a.id];
// Test that name of account correctly added the value
System.assertEquals('T1 Account', acc.name);

opportunity opp=new Opportunity(Name='Test Oppty');
opp.CloseDate=system.today();
opp.StageName='Prospect';
opp.AccountId=acc.id;
opp.Description='this is my test opportunity';

insert opp;

//Create record of Job_Contract__c object type.

Job_Contract__c ObjJob=new Job_Contract__c();
ObjJob.Related_Job__c=opp.id;
ObjJob.Name='Test Contract';

// Insert Job_Contract__c
insert ObjJob;
// Insert Job_Contract__c
ObjJob.Name='My Name has been changed';
update ObjJob;
test.stopTest();


}

}


Hope above code will you writing Test class for your trigger.

Thank you very much for your help. You are truely awesome and are definitely helping me understand SF a lot more. Question though, as i am getting a slight error because I have one required formula field in the custom object that pulls the value from the opportunity of end  date. What would variable be in what i assume to be this code? 

ObjJob.Job_End_Date__c = XXXXXX  ;        Date.today();    - wont work beause its a formula. 

Any ideas?
