How do you set up test cases?

How do you set up test cases?

However, every test case can be broken down into 8 basic steps.

1. Step 1: Test Case ID.
2. Step 2: Test Description.
3. Step 3: Assumptions and Pre-Conditions.
4. Step 4: Test Data.
5. Step 5: Steps to be Executed.
6. Step 6: Expected Result.
7. Step 7: Actual Result and Post-Conditions.
8. Step 8: Pass/Fail.

How do I use setUp and tearDown?

In general you add all prerequisite steps to setUp and all clean-up steps to tearDown. You can read more with examples here. When a setUp() method is defined, the test runner will run that method prior to each test. Likewise, if a tearDown() method is defined, the test runner will invoke that method after each test.

Why do we use test start?

The startTest method marks the point in your test code when your test actually begins. Each test method is allowed to call this method only once. All of the code before this method should be used to initialize variables, populate data structures, and so on, allowing you to set up everything you need to run your test.

When to use the @ testsetup method in apex?

@testSetup methods are executed first in the class before any test methods. You may have multiple @testSetup methods in your class, however, their execution order is not guaranteed. Test setup methods are supported only with the default data isolation mode for a test class.

Why do you need a test setup method?

Test setup methods can reduce test execution times especially when you’re working with many records. Test setup methods enable you to create common test data easily and efficiently. By setting up records once for the class, you don’t need to re-create records for each test method.

Can you have more than one test setup method?

You can have only one test setup method per test class. If a fatal error occurs during the execution of a test setup method, such as an exception that’s caused by a DML operation or an assertion failure, the entire test class fails, and no further tests in the class are executed.

What happens if a test setup method calls a non test method?

If a test setup method calls a non-test method of another class, no code coverage is calculated for the non-test method. Thanks for contributing an answer to Salesforce Stack Exchange!
