When testing, how will @testSetup be preferable than a DataFactory ??
I understand how both works, but I don't see any case where I'd rather use the @testSetup annotation.



I use this datafactory and it works very well...



Thanks.

          A major reason to use @TestSetup is the situation where you have many tests that require the same baseline of data. The @TestSetup method runs once and all its data is available to all the test methods in the class. Any changes made by a test method are rolled back but the @TestSetup data isn't. The benefit is faster test running because the baseline data inserts are only done once per test class not once per test method.



          A downside is that the only way to get references to the data created in @TestSetup is to query for it. But those queries are much cheaper than the inserts.



          I use @TestSetup sometimes, and other times, when I want to refer to the test data in the following asserts, use builder classes invoked from each test method so I have references to the test objects without having to do queries.



          You can choose to use whatever technique you like to create the SObjects and use that method inside the @TestStup method or outside of it.

            I use both. Why would you have to choose one over the other? @testSetup is a way to reduce test execution time by reusing the data created once in all the test methods of a test class.



            TestFactory is to reuse same data in multiple test classes.



            Ex:



            @isTest
            private class AvinashTest
            @testSetup
            static void testSetup()
            Test.startTest();
            Account a = (Account) TestFactory.createSObject(new Account(), true);
            a.Oracle_Cust_Number__c = '10';
            update a;
            Brand__c b = (Brand__c) TestFactory.createSObject(new Brand__c(), true);
            example_Product__c rocProd = TestDataFactory.getexampleProduct( 'Test Prod', b );
            insert rocProd;
            Contact c = (Contact) TestFactory.createSObject(new Contact(), true);
            Opportunity o = (Opportunity) TestFactory.createSObject(new Opportunity(AccountId=a.Id,StageName='Closed Lost', Channel_Type__c = 'Direct'), true);
            Product2 prod1 = (Product2) TestFactory.createSObject(new Product2(Brand__c=b.Id), true);
            prod1.example_Product__c = rocProd.Id;

            update new User(Service_Provider__c = true, Id = UserInfo.getUserId());
            Test.stopTest();
