What does the setRedirect(true) method on a PageReference indicate?

The browser should perform a redirect (HTTP 302) instead of a forward

The controller should be re-instantiated on the target page

The page should be rendered without view state

The page should be displayed in a new browser window

Why is it important to create test data with DML in a controller test?

To test the controller without any governor limits

To ensure the controller can run as a guest user

To simulate real scenarios where the controller operates on persisted records

To increase code coverage percentage

What does ApexPages.currentPage() return in a test?

A PageReference object representing the current page

A String containing the page's URL

The controller instance for the current page

A controller method queries for records that the current user may not have access to due to sharing rules. A developer writes a test that runs as a user with the 'View All Data' permission to ensure the query returns all records. What is the primary issue with this test approach?

The test will fail because sharing rules are not enforced in test context.

The test will fail because 'View All Data' permission is not available in test context.

The test does not verify the behavior for a user without the 'View All Data' permission, which is the more common production scenario.

The test must use System.runAs() to switch to a user with 'View All Data', otherwise the permission is ignored.

What is the primary purpose of unit testing a Visualforce controller?

To measure the performance of the controller under heavy load

To verify that the controller's methods and properties behave correctly in isolation

To confirm that the controller can be deployed to production without a test class

To ensure the Visualforce page renders without any HTML errors
