Permissions shouldn't affect code coverage, right?

Wait, can you really get coverage just from testSetup? Seems off.

Definitely agree with option C, that's how you get the coverage!

@testVisible won't help if the method isn't called in the right context.

I think calling the method from a testMethod is the way to go.

I vaguely recall that permissions can affect code execution, but I don't think that's the main issue here. It seems more about how we structure the tests.

I feel like using system.assert() in testSetup could help, but I’m not entirely convinced it would improve coverage.

I think calling the method in a testMethod might be necessary to actually hit the code paths we need. That sounds familiar from practice questions.

I remember discussing how @testVisible can help with visibility in tests, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach for code coverage.

Okay, let's see. The organization has defined its goals, analyzed its internal strengths and weaknesses, and done a corporate appraisal. I think the key here is to identify the external analysis stage that's likely missing.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different options and how they might apply to the scenario.

I'm a little unsure about this one. The question is asking about the auditor's responsibilities, but the options seem to be comparing the Yellow Book to GAAS audits. I'll need to review the differences between the two standards to make sure I understand the implications for the auditor's work.

For code coverage, method of a class should be invoked from a testMethod instead of testSetup. testSetup is used to setup test data in a test class

Answer here should be C

No, Sandip, you're wrong. When an Apex class is invoked in testsetup, it increases coverage. Though I agree that a function which needs to be tested should be invoked from a @IsTest method.. anyway C doesn't matter.
