Scenario

How do you use @testSetup and when?

Answer:
@testSetup is used to insert common test data used across
multiple test methods to avoid code duplication.
apex

@testSetup
static void setupData() {
Account acc = new Account(Name='Test');
insert acc;
}

Scenario
How do you validate that an Opportunity’s amount is
greater than its related Account’s AnnualRevenue?
Logic:
Use before insert or before update trigger on Opportunity
and query related Account.
apex

trigger ValidateOppAmount on Opportunity (before insert, before update) {


Set<Id> accountIds = new Set<Id>();
for (Opportunity opp : Trigger.new) {
if (opp.AccountId != null) accountIds.add(opp.AccountId);
}

Map<Id, Account> accounts = new Map<Id, Account>(


[SELECT Id, AnnualRevenue FROM Account WHERE Id IN :accountIds]
);

for (Opportunity opp : Trigger.new) {


if (opp.AccountId != null && opp.Amount != null &&
opp.Amount > accounts.get(opp.AccountId).AnnualRevenue) {
opp.addError('Opportunity amount cannot exceed Account annual revenue.');
}
}
}

Scenario

What happens if a trigger executes more than 150 DML


operations?

Logic:
Salesforce enforces a limit of 150 DML statements per
transaction. Exceeding this causes runtime errors.

Solution:
Bulkify your logic by collecting records into a list and
performing a single update or insert.

Common Mistake:
❌ Performing DML inside a loop.

Scenario
How to handle NULL in SOQL WHERE clause?
apex

List<Account> accs = [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Industry = null];

Common Mistake:
❌ Using = NULL instead of = null in Apex context or using
== directly in SOQL string.

Scenario
How do you create a roll-up summary for objects with a
Lookup relationship?

Logic:
Use Apex Trigger to calculate totals and update parent.
apex

trigger RollupContacts on Contact (after insert, after delete, after


update) {
Set<Id> accIds = new Set<Id>();
if(Trigger.isInsert || Trigger.isUpdate){
for(Contact c : Trigger.new){
if(c.AccountId != null) accIds.add(c.AccountId);
}
}
if(Trigger.isDelete){
for(Contact c : Trigger.old){
if(c.AccountId != null) accIds.add(c.AccountId);
}
}

Map<Id, Integer> contactCountMap = new Map<Id, Integer>();


for(AggregateResult ar : [SELECT AccountId accId, COUNT(Id)
contactCount FROM Contact WHERE AccountId IN :accIds GROUP BY
AccountId]){
contactCountMap.put((Id)ar.get('accId'),
(Integer)ar.get('contactCount'));
}

List<Account> accToUpdate = new List<Account>();


for(Id accId : contactCountMap.keySet()){
accToUpdate.add(new Account(Id = accId,
Number_of_Contacts__c = contactCountMap.get(accId)));
}
update accToUpdate;
}

Scenario
How do you schedule a class to run every Monday at 9 AM?

Logic:
Use System.schedule() with a CRON expression.

apex

public class MyScheduledJob implements Schedulable {


public void execute(SchedulableContext sc){
// logic
}
}

// Schedule
String cronExp = '0 0 9 ? * MON'; // every Monday 9 AM
System.schedule('Weekly Job', cronExp, new MyScheduledJob());

Scenario

How do you build and run SOQL queries dynamically?

Logic:
Use Database.query(String) to execute SOQL from a string.

apex

String query = 'SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Name LIKE
\'%Test%\'';
List<Account> accList = Database.query(query);

Common Mistake:
❌ Improper escaping of quotes, leading to malformed SOQL.

Scenario
How do you use aggregate functions like GROUP BY in Apex
SOQL?

Logic:
Use AggregateResult class to capture the results.

apex

List<AggregateResult> groupedResults = [
SELECT AccountId, COUNT(Id) total FROM Contact GROUP BY
AccountId
];
for (AggregateResult ar : groupedResults) {
System.debug('Account: ' + ar.get('AccountId') + ', Total: ' +
ar.get('total'));
}

Common Mistake:
❌ Trying to cast AggregateResult directly into custom objects
or failing to use .get() properly.

Scenario
What are key best practices while writing Batch Apex?
Logic:
Use smaller batch sizes if large data sets.
Avoid SOQL/DML in loops.
Implement all 3 methods (start, execute, finish).
Test thoroughly with Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest().
Common Mistake:
❌ Not testing batch properly or doing DML inside the start()
method.
