How to write test for Apex Scheduler

Hi,

 

I have created a Class that implements the Schedulable interface for a batch Apex class called batchable:

 

 

global class scheduledBatchable implements Schedulable{
   global void execute(SchedulableContext sc) {
      batchable b = new batchable();
      database.executebatch(b);
   }
}
 
 Now I am not sure how I can write my test class... Can i call execute() ? What should be the SchedulableContext?

Take a look at the docs: 
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index_Left.htm#StartTopic=Content/apex_scheduler.htm?SearchType=Stem
 
Per the example, you can validate the cron expression by validating the next fire time.  Similar to Batch and @future, you can invoke the scheduler after Test.startTest() and assert the execute behavior after Test.stopTest().
