To write a batch Apex class in Salesforce, you will need to use the Apex programming language and follow the guidelines provided by Salesforce for creating batch Apex classes. This typically involves creating a class that implements the Database.Batchable
interface and defining the start
, execute
, and finish
methods.
Here is an example of what a batch Apex class might look like:
global class MyBatchApexClass implements Database.Batchable<sObject> { global Iterable<sObject> start(Database.BatchableContext BC) { return [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE BillingCity = 'San Francisco']; } global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<sObject> scope) { for (sObject record : scope) { Account account = (Account)record; account.BillingCity = 'New York'; update account; } } global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC) { Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage(); email.setToAddresses(new String[] {'john.doe@example.com'}); email.setSubject('Batch Apex job complete'); email.setPlainTextBody('The batch Apex job has completed'); Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { email }); } }
To write a test class for a batch Apex class in Salesforce, you will need to use the Apex programming language and follow the guidelines provided by Salesforce for testing Apex classes. This typically involves creating a test class that creates test data and verifies that the batch Apex class is functioning correctly.
Here is an example of what a test class for the batch Apex class above might look like:
@isTest private class MyBatchApexClassTest { @isTest private static void testMyBatchApexClass() { // Insert test data Account account = new Account(Name='Test Account', BillingCity='San Francisco'); insert account; // Execute the batch Apex class Test.startTest(); Database.executeBatch(new MyBatchApexClass()); Test.stopTest(); // Verify that the batch Apex class updated the account account = [SELECT BillingCity FROM Account WHERE Id = :account.Id]; System.assertEquals('New York', account.BillingCity); // Verify that the batch Apex class sent the notification email Messaging.Email[] emails = [SELECT Subject FROM Email WHERE Subject = 'Batch Apex job complete']; System.assertEquals(1, emails.size()); } }
To achieve 100% code coverage for your batch Apex class, you will need to ensure that all of the code in your batch Apex class has been executed at least once during the execution of your test methods. You can check your code coverage by running your test methods and then navigating to the “Code Coverage” page in the Salesforce Developer Console.
