Creating an Apex Test Class for a Custom Object as a Process Object and a Step

To deploy the trigger to your production environment, create the following class.

If your custom object is the detail record in a master–detail relationship, create a formula field that retrieves the OwnerId from the master object. The structure of the field depends on how the relationship is named. For example, if your object is related to the account object through a master–detail relationship, the formula is: Business_Account__r.OwnerId.

In your sandbox environment, open Settings by clicking the gear icon (in Lightning) or your name (in Classic) in the upper right corner of Salesforce.
Select Developer Console.
Select File.
Hover over New and choose Apex Class.
Give your class a descriptive name, like CustomObjectNameTriggerTest.
Click OK.

Copy the following code and paste it into the new class window:

@isTest private class CustomObjectNameTriggerTest { private static testMethod void Test_CustomObjectNameTrigger () { YOUR_CUSTOM_OBJECT_API_NAME__c fw = new YOUR_CUSTOM_OBJECT_API_NAME__c(); insert fw; System.assertNotEquals(null, fw.id); update fw; delete fw; } }

Replace CustomObjectNameTriggerTest with the name of the class you chose in step 5 above.
Replace the CustomObjectName in Test_CustomObjectNameTrigger with the name of your custom object (no spaces).
Replace YOUR_CUSTOM_OBJECT_API_NAME__c with your custom object's API name. You may need to add code to your test method, depending on which fields your object requires and validation rules that may be in place. When running tests in step 12, note any errors that occur as these indicate required fields that your test code has not populated.
Save the class by pressing Ctrl+S or by selecting File > Save in the Developer Console's top menu.
Select the Run Test button in the Developer Console.
Verify the minimum 75% code coverage was achieved. If necessary, fix any errors and run the test again.
Close the Developer Console.

Refer to the Deploy from Sandbox with Change Sets module in Trailhead for instructions on the deployment process.
