Account Trigger:

Apex triggers allow for complex logic to retrieve and update the Timezone field based on PostalCodeToTimezone__c.

Fast Field Updates Record-Triggered Flow:

A record-triggered flow in Fast Field Updates mode can fetch the necessary data from PostalCodeToTimezone__c and update the Account.

Why Not Other Options?

A. Quick actions: Used for user interface updates, not for automation based on edits.

B. Approval process: Not relevant to dynamic field updates.

Why @TestSetup?

The @TestSetup annotation creates a baseline set of test data once per test class.

Test methods reuse this data, avoiding the need to recreate it repeatedly, which improves efficiency.

Why Not Other Options?

A: HttpCalloutMock is used for mocking callouts, not for creating test data.

C: Using seeAllData=true is discouraged because it relies on org data, violating test isolation principles.

D: While creating data in Test.startTest() works, it is less efficient than @TestSetup for shared data.

Test Setup Methods: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_testing_testsetup.htm

References:

Option A (Developer Console): The Developer Console provides a detailed view of the execution logs and the status of Apex batch or future methods.

Option B (Apex Jobs): The Apex Jobs page in Salesforce Setup shows the status of queued, in-progress, or completed batch and scheduled jobs.

The @TestVisible annotation allows private methods or variables to be accessed in test classes. This ensures that the private method can be adequately tested without changing its access modifier.
