Recap: Anatomy of a Test Class

Salesforce Keyword

Variable

Free Text Important!

#forcewebinar

POP QUIZ!

How does your Test Class know which Trigger to test?

If you can solve a business need using either a Trigger or a Workflow Rule, which should you use?

What is Trigger.new and why is it so important?

Workflow Rule! We always use clicks whenever possible.

Trick question – it doesn’t! Test classes must indirectly “trigger” triggers by doing actions that cause a trigger to fire. They never explicitely tell a trigger to run.

Trigger.new is a special list of every record that has entered your trigger. You’ll see this variable in every trigger that’s written.

#forcewebinar

What is SOQL?

Salesforce Query language

When do we use it?

Use both SOQL & Apex in a Trigger

Cross-object actions

SOQL APEX

#forcewebinar

Where Can I Use SOQL?

Chapter 1:

• Data Loader • Simple queries

• Apex• Workbench

• workbench.developerforce.com/login.php

• Workbench is a coding playground!

#forcewebinar

Exercise

Let’s write a SOQL Query!

#forcewebinar

POP QUIZ!

Why do 95% of Triggers use SOQL?

Name THREE places you can write SOQL?

What are the TWO words that appear in every SOQL Statement?

Data Loader, Workbench, and Apex Triggers.

SOQL lets you do cross-object actions in a trigger. If you don’t need SOQL in your trigger, there is a strong chance you can use workflow instead.

SELECT and FROM

What is the difference between = and == ?

One equals sign sets a variable to a value. Two equals signs checks to see if two values are equal and returns true or false.
