Consider the following code snippet:

As part of the deployment cycle, a developer creates the following test class:

When the test class runs, the assertion fails.
Which change should the developer implement in the Apex test method to ensure the test method executes successfully?
Correct Answer: B
To ensure that test methods execute successfully and are able to verify the behavior of the code, it is important to set up the proper context and to make sure that the test covers the expected outcomes accurately.
Option B is correct because enclosing the method call within Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest() ensures that any asynchronous operations are completed before the assertions are made. This is crucial when the code being tested is expected to perform operations that may run after the initial transaction, such as future methods, queueable jobs, or batch operations.
Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the issue of ensuring that all operations are completed before the assertion is made. Option A incorrectly suggests modifying the test setup code, while Options C and D suggest changes that are not related to the test execution flow.
