Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
At the end of the test method automatically without stopTest.
Why it's wrong here
Without stopTest, asynchronous code does not execute during unit tests.
- ✗
Immediately when enqueued.
Why it's wrong here
Asynchronous jobs wait until stopTest is reached in test context.
- ✗
Only when explicitly mocked via HttpCalloutMock.
Why it's wrong here
HttpCalloutMock provides response data but does not control the execution timing.
- ✓
When Test.stopTest() is executed.
Why this is correct
Test.stopTest() forces all asynchronous processes enqueued within the test block to run synchronously.
