| Test Level | When to Use |
|---|---|
NoTestRun | Sandbox (non-production) |
RunSpecifiedTests | Production — known test classes |
RunLocalTests | Production — safe default |
RunAllTestsInOrg | Rarely — full validation including managed packages |

Test coverage of selected Apex Trigger is 0% | No trigger tests | Add test class covering trigger |
System.LimitException: Too many SOQL queries | Test hitting limits | Use @TestSetup, reduce queries |

Score from 100, deduct per finding:
| Category | Check | Deduction |
|---|---|---|
| Security | Classes without with sharing | -5 per class |
| Bulkification | SOQL in loop | -10 per occurrence |
| Testing | Classes below 75% coverage | -5 per class |
| Trigger pattern | Multiple triggers per object | -10 per object |

| Deployable? | Yes (metadata) | No (data) |
| Accessible in SOQL | Yes | Yes |
| Per-user/profile | No | Yes (hierarchy) |
| Subscriber overrides | Yes | No |
| Recommended for | Config, thresholds, mappings | User/profile preferences |
Decision: Default to Custom Metadata for anything that should be version-controlled and deployable.
