Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a loop to create 250 test records and insert them.
Testing with a collection of records validates bulkification and prevents governor limit exceptions.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a single record in the test class.
Why it's wrong here
Testing with one record does not validate bulk data handling.
- ✓
Use a loop to create 250 test records and insert them.
Why this is correct
Inserting a collection of records is the standard way to test bulk DML operations.
- ✗
Use @isTest(isParallel=true) to increase speed.
Why it's wrong here
Parallel execution does not help verify bulk record processing.
- ✗
Execute the trigger from the Developer Console.
Why it's wrong here
Trigger testing should be automated via Apex test classes.
