do I need to write a test class for my visualforce page?

I've created a visualforce page and a trigger in the past.  For the trigger I remember having to create a test class for it.  I had to ask Salesforce support to help me.  I'm not a developer.

Now I have another visualforce page I want to deploy and I'm wondering if I have to create a test class for this.  I don't recall having to create a test class for the first visualforce page.  How do I know when I need to create a test class?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

You need to create test classes for the custom controllers and the controller extensions (apex code).

What is the first line (<apex:page>) of your visualforce page ?

<apex:page controller="MyController">

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="myControllerExtension">

The classes MyController and myControllerExtension need test classes.
