To test future methods, enclose your test code between the startTest and stopTest test methods. The system collects all asynchronous calls made after the startTest. When stopTest is executed, all these collected asynchronous processes are then run synchronously.

Do you know how to do unit testing?

How to start unit testing in Visual Studio?
To follow these steps, Visual Studio Enterprise is required. Turn live unit testing from the Test menu by choosing Test > Live Unit Testing > Start. View the results of the tests within the code editor window as you write and edit code. Click a test result indicator to see more information, such as the names of the tests that cover that method.

Trying to make our unit tests as robust as possible, we try to always create test data from within the unit tests.
