How to find code coverage for a class with multiple test classes?

I have a legacy application, There are several test classes, that covered 1 class. How to find the overal code coverage for this 1 class? When I ran test classes separately they covered 15-20% each covering different lines of the class.

Hi Irine,

To deploy into Production any Apex Code should have 75% code coverage but at the same time Salesforce allows us to deploy the Apex Code which is having above 1% by considering overall code coverage is above 75%.

But the best practice it to maintain the 75% code coverage for all the classes / trigger.

What I would suggest here is,

Take any of the 5 test classes and start working on it to increase the code coverage to 75%.

Remember any class / trigger above 1% code coverage you can able to deploy but that is not the best practice. 


Also follow some of the links and best practices while writing the Test Classes:

1) http://amitsalesforce.blogspot.com/search/label/Test%20Class
2) http://amitsalesforce.blogspot.com/2015/06/best-practice-for-test-classes-sample.html

Please follow below salesforce Best Practice for Test Classes :-

1. Test class must start with @isTest annotation if class class version is more than 25
2. Test environment support @testVisible , @testSetUp as well
3. Unit test is to test particular piece of code working properly or not .
4. Unit test method takes no argument ,commit no data to database ,send no email ,flagged with testMethod keyword .
5. To deploy to production at-least 75% code coverage is required
6. System.debug statement are not counted as a part of apex code limit.
7. Test method and test classes are not counted as a part of code limit
9. We should not focus on the  percentage of code coverage ,we should make sure that every use case should covered including positive, negative,bulk and single record .
Single Action -To verify that the the single record produces the correct an expected result .
Bulk action -Any apex record trigger ,class or extension must be invoked for 1-200 records .
Positive behavior : Test every expected behavior occurs through every expected permutation , i,e user filled out every correctly data and not go past the limit .
Negative Testcase :-Not to add future date , Not to specify negative amount.
Restricted User :-Test whether a user with restricted access used in your code .
10. Test class should be annotated with @isTest .
11 . @isTest annotation with test method  is equivalent to testMethod keyword .
12. Test method should static and no void return type .
13. Test class and method default access is private ,no matter to add access specifier .
14. classes with @isTest annotation can't be a interface or enum .
15. Test method code can't be invoked by non test request .
16. Stating with salesforce API 28.0 test method can not reside inside non test classes .
17. @Testvisible annotation to make visible private methods inside test classes.
18. Test method can not be used to test web-service call out . Please use call out mock .
19. You can't  send email from test method.
20.User, profile, organization, AsyncApexjob, Corntrigger, RecordType, ApexClass, ApexComponent ,ApexPage we can access without (seeAllData=true) .
21. SeeAllData=true will not work for API 23 version eailer .
22. Accessing static resource test records in test class e,g List<Account> accList=Test.loadData(Account,SobjectType,'ResourceName').
23. Create TestFactory class with @isTest annotation to exclude from organization code size limit .
24. @testSetup to create test records once in a method  and use in every test method in the test class .
25. We can run unit test by using Salesforce Standard UI,Force.com IDE ,Console ,API.
26. Maximum number of test classes run per 24 hour of period is  not grater of 500 or 10 multiplication of test classes of your organization.
27. As apex runs in system mode so the permission and record sharing are not taken into account . So we need to use system.runAs to enforce record sharing .
28. System.runAs will not enforce user permission or field level permission .
29. Every test to runAs count against the total number of DML issued in the process.

Please do let me know if it helps you.

Hi Irina,

There is an option to Run All Test Classes.

If you go to Setup --> Apex Classes --> Run All Tests

After completion of it, you can check the overall code coverage of a particular class.

Please do let me know if it helps you.

I did it already and saw 30%. I have 5 test classes for this class with 13%, 15%, 18%, 19% and 20% when I ran them separately. So I thought they all covered different lines and overall should be > = 75%. I don't understand how this class was deployed to production if it has overal coverage of 30% only. So I thought that 30% that I saw there was wrong. The class is very big, so it hard to compare line by line what covered by each test classes.

OK, I understand now. We have overall code coverage for org 68%, that is why I was always have more than 75% coverage when I deploy the class since I started working here. Still don't understand how they manage to have only 68% overall coverage total.

Hi Irina,

When you do Run All Tests in Sandbox it may not give you 100% correct code coverage. When you are actually deploying into Production, it will run all Test Classes with the Production configuration / data, it will get more than 75% otherwise it will not allow us to deploy into Production.
