Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Immediately when the line invoking the @future method is reached
Why it's wrong here
Asynchronous methods are deferred until Test.stopTest().
- ✗
At the end of the test method automatically without needing Test.stopTest()
Why it's wrong here
Without Test.stopTest(), asynchronous calls made in a test method are discarded.
- ✓
After the Test.stopTest() method is executed
Why this is correct
Test.stopTest collects all asynchronous processes and runs them synchronously before resuming test execution.
- ✗
In a separate transaction concurrently while the test method continues running
Why it's wrong here
Tests run asynchronously queued code synchronously upon reaching stopTest to ensure determinism.
