test data factory class
I am using number of objects in my app which are inter-related to each other. Whereas the controllers have good frequency of methods around it. Every time i create a test class and test method for testing any controller method, i need to create new Records which are required for the execution of controller methods. Is there any way to create a class which provides me all types of required records. Something like a data factory class which can be used in every test class during test execution.
Please find the concept of test data factory class in the below example which might help you to build the required class.
//service provider public abstract class TestDataFactory { //Account creation public static List<Account> createAccounts( Integer numberOfAccounts) { List<Account> accounts = new List<Account>(); for ( Integer i = 0 ; i < numberOfAccounts ; i++ ) { Account account = new Account( firstname = 'Test Account' + Math.random(), lastname = 'Account', PersonEmail = 'noreplay@email.com',Home_Phone__c= '(415) 419-8873',PersonMailingStreet = '5353 W.Test Rd', PersonMailingCity = 'Testdale', PersonMailingState = 'CA', PersonMailingPostalCode = '94803'); accounts.add( account); } return accounts; } } // Consumer class @isTest private class TestDataFactoryTest { static Account account; //test for creating Accounts static testMethod void createAccountsTest() { account = TestDataFactory.createAccounts(1)[0]; insert account; system.debug('Account Id'+account.id); account = [select firstname, lastname,personmailingpostalcode,personEmail from account where id = :account.id]; system.assertEquals(account.lastname, 'Account'); system.assertEquals(account.personmailingpostalcode, '94803'); system.debug('Account Firstname'+ account.FirstName); } }Please let us know if this helps.Regards,
