[SalesForce] How to set closeDate of a Case record in the test Method

I am writting a test method, where I have to set closedate of a case record to an old date.

I know, i can make Status to "closed", but it will give you close date as Today.

Is there any other way, where I can set the close date to an old date?

You should be able to do this, and set other system date fields, using JSON.deserialize(). For example (setting CreatedDate):

@isTest 
private class CaseTest{ 
static testmethod void testLoadData(){ 
String caseJSON = '{"attributes":{"type":"CasSe","url":"/services/data/v25.0/sobjects/Case/500E0000002nH2fIAE"},"Id":"500E0000002nH2fIAE","Status":"Open","CreatedDate":"2012-10-04T17:54:26.000+0000"}'; 
Case c = (Case) JSON.deserialize(caseJSON, Case.class ); 
System.debug('Test case:' + c.createdDate); 
System.debug('Test caseId:' + c.Id); 
System.debug('Test caseStatus:' + c.status); 

Case c1 = new Case(); 
c1.Id = c.Id; 
c1.status = 'New'; 
update c1; 

System.debug('Test caseStatus1:' + c1.status); 

} 
}

[SalesForce] Case status default to Closed on Close case layout

We fixed it by removing the button Close Case, and adding our own which passes a parameter. This is what the URL of your button must be to set the Closed status

/{!Case.Id}/s?retURL=%2F{!Case.Id}&cas7=Closed

Replace Closed if you have another status.

[SalesForce] How to access recordType in Test Methods with seeAllData = false

Recordtype can be directly queried and you do not have to use SeeAllData for getting record type info

Reference:

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_testing_data_access.htm

However, objects that are used to manage your organization or metadata objects can still be accessed in your tests such as:

User

Profile

Organization

AsyncApexJob

CronTrigger

RecordType

ApexClass

ApexTrigger

ApexComponent

ApexPage

Eg:

RecordType rt = [select id,Name from RecordType where SobjectType='Account' and Name='A' Limit 1];

If you want to do it without using a query:

Reference : http://salesforceapexcodecorner.blogspot.com/2012/03/record-type-for-crating-test-class-data.html

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult cfrSchema = Schema.SObjectType.Account; 
Map<String,Schema.RecordTypeInfo> AccountRecordTypeInfo = cfrSchema.getRecordTypeInfosByName(); 
Id rtId = AccountRecordTypeInfo .get('A').getRecordTypeId();

Account Acc = new Account(Name='test',recordtypeid=AccountRecordTypeInfo .get('A').getRecordTypeId());
insert Acc;
