Check string value in salesforce test class

Question

Below is the code for my test class.

Opportunity opp = [select Deal_Type__c from opportunity where Id: = <some id>]; 
Case objCase = new Case(); 

objCase.standard_or_nonstandard__c = 'Yes';

if(objCase.standard_or_nonstandard__c = 'Yes'){ // this if is getting tested 
    opp.Deal_Type__c = 'Standard'; 
}
 else{                                          // else part is getting skipped
     opp.Deal_Type__c = 'Not Standard'; 
}

And only first if condition is getting tested and other is skipping which is why the code is not reaching 75% off code coverage.

the field standard_or_nonstandard__c is picklist having two values Yes & No.

And if the value if Yes, the deal type should be standard, and if No, the deal type is not standard.

Any suggestion on this?

Answer 1

Because the field objCase.standard_or_nonstandard_c is set to 'Yes' before the condition. This indicates that when the condition is assessed, the field can never be equal to 'No.' As a result, the first 'if' block is always used, whereas the else condition is never used. In order for test data to enter the otherwise block, you'll need to remove that line (objCase.standard_or_nonstandard_c = 'Yes';) before the If statement.

I hope this helps!
