in apex test how to assert if a method in apex class is getting called and how many times

In Apex Test , i need to verify that specific method of the Apex class that i am testing, is getting called when i run the test. I am looking for something similar to .toHaveBeenCalledTimes () that is available in javascript.

Appreciate any help on this!

Hi Swapna,

There is no method that tells you a method runs how many times. You can create a global static variable and every time when the method runs in that method increment the variable and at last, in the test class, you will get the count in the variable.

Please mark this as the best answer if it helps.

Thanks

Sure I will! Wanted to ask how do I declare global variable? Can I use public static variable instead and refer to it as Classname.variable name in the test class to validate the counter?

Hi,

Yes, you can. Declare a variable public static Integer counter = 0; in the apex class.
