Trigger is not firing in Test Method

I created a new case with anonymous window and trigger succesfully set a field of a new case.
However, when I tried to create a new case (w/ same fields' values as one before) in test method, it does not update a field of this case via trigger.
I followed the help from the forum saying that I should fetch a case using soql after insertion, but it did not work.
Can someone please help me on this? 
@isTest static void singleCaseInsertion() {
        Case newCase = new Case(...);
        insert newCase;
        test.startTest();
        Case newCasePtr = [Select casenumber, id, similarcases__c from case where id = :newCase.id];
        String newCaseSimCases = newCasePtr.similarCases__c;
        test.stopTest();
        System.assert(newCaseSimCases != null); // I get null value for this field, which is wrong.

    }

What happens to value of class variable after trigger fires?

I have a static class variable called numRemain, which is initially set to some positive value and trigger decrements its value by 1 for each recursive call. Because my after-insert trigger has the part where each case in Trigger.New is updated, it fires Trigger in recursive manner. My queston is "after trigger is called more than once, is numRemain reset to its initial value or is numRemain decremented after each recursion?"
The reason why I ask this question is that I keep getting Apex Timeout error even though I have the conditional statement if(numRemain>0) in the beginning of the apex trigger.
Thank you.

Can I insert a new record through a method in Apex Test Class?

I am trying to write a test class and its methods in Apex.
I first created a case record in one of test methods and insert that case, but after I did test->New run for that method, I didn't see the new record was created in the salesforce case object.
Here is the apex code: 
@isTest
public class MyTestClass {
    /**
     * Test for inserting a single case record
     */
    @isTest static void singleCaseInsertion() {
        Case newCase = new Case(
    		subject = 'abc', 
                type = 'def', 
    		description = 'testing.'
        );
	insert newCase;
    }
}

Set formula fields of other case records to a field of a given case in apex

I have a custom field called similar_cases__c and would like to include formula fields of other case records in similar_cases_c of a new case.
I am sure I set the hyperlink of formula field correctly as I can click the casenumber and it directs me to the corresponding case record page.
So I want, for example, a similar_cases__c looks like "00771120, 00771121, 00771122" and I can click on these numbers to go to pages.
Type of similar_cases__c is text.

Thank you.
  
newCase.similarCases__c = '';
                        for (Case oldCase: collectedList) {
                            newCase.similarCases__c += oldCase.TestField__c;
                        }

Can URL-typed field have more than one url?

I am developing this in SFDC.
I have a custom field whose type is URL.
I noticed that if I do the following, I can set the url of the case record.
myCase.customField = 'xxx.salesforce.com/recordid_of_othercase/d'
I would like to create 5 links of 5 different recordids in this custom field instead of having just one link for one recordid.
Q1. Can I do this in one custom field in some way or should I create 5 custom fields and fill each field with recordid?
Q2. I heard that I can change the way the url looks, having caseNumber field instead of a long url. What is the exact format of the code for this?
Thank you.

can't fetch some field's value from rest api

I have no problem fetching id of the new case just inserted.
I would like to get description value of that case with the following code, but I failed and received an exception.
  
//Make the request
      HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

      //Process the results
      int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
      if (statusCode == 201) {
        String response_string = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
        JSONObject json = new JSONObject(response_string);
        // Store the retrieved lead id to use when we update the lead.
        caseId = json.getString("id");
        System.out.println("New case id from response: " + caseId);
        Description = json.getString("Description");
        System.out.println("New case description from response: " + Description);
      } else {
        System.out.println("Insertion unsuccessful. Status code returned is " + statusCode);
      }

create manytomany relationship among same type of objects

I tried to implement the feature where one case object stores many case objects in its field and any case object can also have multiple case objects. I was trying to use following ways, each of which has some problem:

1. can't use related cases field because once a case's parent is set up, it can't be related to another case as each case can have at most one parent case.
2. can't use a junction object as I'm connecting two same type of case objects.

Is there any other way to achieve this feature?

Thank you

create multiple tags through apex developer console

When I am using a single string for name field of casetags object, I can see a correct tag generated for a newly inserted case record. Now I have a list of string-typed tags and am trying to attach all those tags to a single new case record. Here are the examples that didn't work for multiple tags attachement.
ex1) name = "tag1, tag2"
ex2) for (String tag: tagsList) {

AccountID and AccountName in REST

I am trying to insert a new Case record in salesforce, so I created the REST in Java for that.
In both the APEX developer console and a inserting method in REST I use the field AccountID, but
in Salesforce website I have to choose string-typed name of a company for the field Account Name.
I also checked all possible fields for the case object in developer console and I didn't see AccountName field. However, when I used a specific ID (picked a random one from developer console) for AccountID in REST, the newly created case record acquired the Account Name associated with that Account ID. Is there a way to use Account Name direclty from REST instead of using AccountID?
