SALESFORCE-PD1 Process Automation And Logic Practice Question
A developer needs to write a unit test for a Queueable Apex class. How should the developer verify that the Queueable job executed successfully?
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
✓
Enclose the execution within Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest(), then query for the resulting record changes.
Queueable jobs executed inside Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest() run synchronously upon reaching stopTest(), allowing assertions to be checked immediately after.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use System.assertAsync() to poll the job status table.
Why it's wrong here
System.assertAsync is not a standard Salesforce testing method.
- ✓
Enclose the execution within Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest(), then query for the resulting record changes.
Why this is correct
Test.stopTest() forces asynchronous jobs queued inside startTest() to execute before moving to subsequent lines of test code.
- ✗
Query the AsyncApexJob table without Test.stopTest().
Why it's wrong here
Without Test.stopTest(), asynchronous jobs do not execute during the test method run.
- ✗
Call the queueable execute method directly in a try-catch block.
Why it's wrong here
Calling execute directly does not test the asynchronous queuing mechanism.
