Couldn’t make it…
Our Agenda For Today
• Review our assigned project
• Review top testing tips:
• Data creation with SmartFactory
• Testing web callouts with interfaces
• Automated testing and continuous integration
Our Assigned Project
You've just been hired as a developer on an existing project and
given this story to implement:
As a conference attendee, I want to create a Registration for a
Session, and post it to my Twitter account.
Data Model
Business Logic is Completed!
And Now We Test
• Unit testing
• Integration testing
• Automated testing

Data Creation with
SmartFactory
Let’s Make a Registration
System.DmlException: Insert failed. First
exception on row 0; first error:
REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, Required
fields are missing: [Session__c, Contact__c]:
[Session__c, Contact__c]
Oops, Let’s Make a Session
System.DmlException: Insert failed. First
exception on row 0; first error:
REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, Required
fields are missing: [Start_Date_Time__c]:
[Start_Date_Time__c]
Continue Creating Test Data
• Identify all objects and related objects
• Identify all required fields
• Identify valid values for all required fields
• Populate all required fields
• Rinse & repeat
• OR...
SmartFactory for Force.com
• Apex project
• Create test objects
• Autofill fields & lookups
Contact Account Custom
Object
Let’s Try SmartFactory
SmartFactory for Force.com
• Several utility methods
• Looking at metadata
• bit.ly/SmartFactory

Callout Utility

It All Starts With an Interface…
• Only contains method signatures.
• Implemented by other classes.
• Implement by providing code for interface methods.
Improve the Callout Class with the Interface
Suddenly our application logic is looking much cleaner.
Implementation Class #1: Mock
• Similar code to what we removed from the callout utility
Implementation Class #2: Production
• Performs actual callout.

Using The Interface: Test Method
Using The Interface: Business Logic
• Treat the interface the same here!
Using Interfaces in Apex Testing
• Summary of advantages
• Tried and tested through Java, .Net and others
• Interfaces decouple code and provide consistency
• Fewer hacks to get tests to work correctly
• Improved code coverage
• Can test multiple callout situations with different “dummy” data
• bit.ly/ApexCalloutTest
Automated testing and
continuous integration
Automated Testing and Continuous Integration
• Deployed tests are not run
• New code introduces new bugs
• Team introduces new bugs
Early detection of bug requires that you manually “Run All” tests
or implement full-blown CI… or does it?
Automated Testing for Force.com (App)
• Free App that installs as a managed package with just a few clicks
• Runs 100% on the Force.com Platform
Super Easy to Set Up
