#forcewebinar
Recap: Anatomy of a Test Class

 Salesforce Keyword
 Variable
 Free TextImportant!
#forcewebinar
POP QUIZ!
 How does your Test Class know which Trigger to test?
 If you can solve a business need using either a Trigger or a Workflow
Rule, which should you use?
 What is Trigger.new and why is it so important?
Workflow Rule! We always use clicks whenever
possible.
Trick question – it doesn’t! Test classes must indirectly “trigger”
triggers by doing actions that cause a trigger to fire. They never
explicitely tell a trigger to run.
Trigger.new is a special list of every record that
has entered your trigger. You’ll see this variable in
every trigger that’s written.
#forcewebinar
What is SOQL?
 Salesforce Query language
 When do we use it?
 Use both SOQL & Apex in a
Trigger
 Cross-object actions
 SOQL  APEX
#forcewebinar
You may have already used SOQL!
#forcewebinar
Types of SOQL Queries
Basic
WHERE
Cross Object
#forcewebinar
Types of SOQL Queries
AND & OR
AND
#forcewebinar
Types of SOQL Queries
TEXT, PICKLIST, or ID values
NUMBERS
#forcewebinar
Types of SOQL Queries
Dates
Fuzzy Matching
#forcewebinar
Types of SOQL Queries
Limiting your results
Sorting your results
#forcewebinar
What Is Our Query Asking For?
What TYPE of candy bar is our final query asking
for???
First listener to guess via CHAT wins a Developer Prize Package!
#forcewebinar
SOQL Query: Putting it all together!
#forcewebinar
Where Can I Use SOQL?
Chapter 1:
• Data Loader
• Simple queries
• Apex
• Workbench
• workbench.developerforce.com/login.p
hp
• Workbench is a coding playground!
#forcewebinar
Exercise
Let’s write a SOQL Query!
#forcewebinar
POP QUIZ!
 Why do 95% of Triggers use SOQL?
 Name THREE places you can write SOQL?
 What are the TWO words that appear in every SOQL Statement?
Data Loader, Workbench, and Apex Triggers.
SOQL lets you do cross-object actions in a trigger. If you don’t need
SOQL in your trigger, there is a strong chance you can use workflow
instead.
SELECT and FROM
#forcewebinar
Apex Fundamentals
 Trigger Variables
 IF Statements
 Loops

Trigger Variables
#forcewebinar
IF Statements and Comparison Operators

#forcewebinar
Loops
#forcewebinar
Exercise!
Let’s write a Trigger
#forcewebinar
POP QUIZ!
 What is ‘2’ + ‘2’ ?
 What is the difference between = and == ?
One equals sign sets a variable to a value. Two
equals signs checks to see if two values are equal
and returns true or false.
22. Note that each of the numbers is wrapped in single quotes, which
means we treat them as text. The result is also a string!
