Hi Sami,

Assuming you have a update trigger on Account, here is a sample example how you can cover the update part of trigger.

Test Method:
Sample Update Method:
static testMethod void UpdateAccount()
{
   Account acc = new Account();
  acc.Name = 'Test Update';
  acc.Mobile = '12345';
  insert acc;
  acc.Country = 'India';
  update acc;
}

Thanks,
Ram

Hi Sami,

If you have trigger which is on update event, then in the test class you can actully create a sample record of that object and update that record so it will fire the trigger.

Here you go:
