Permission Set Groups

To provide Apex test coverage for permission set groups, write tests using the calculatePermissionSetGroup() method in the System.Test class.

The calculatePermissionSetGroup() method forces an immediate calculation of aggregate permissions for a specified permission set group. As the forced calculation counts against Apex CPU limits, and can require complex data setup, it’s a best practice to minimize the number of times you perform this operation. Recalculating complex permission set groups with a large number of included permission sets or overall enabled permissions can cause Apex test failures because Apex CPU limits are exceeded. Apex CPU limits can also be exceeded if the included permission sets in the permission set group aren’t licensed and the permission set group is assigned to many users.

Set this test to run once in a Test setup method, then reuse the data in subsequent tests.
