Explanation: To create test data within the unit test with the least amount of code, you can use Test.loadData to populate data in your test methods from a static resource containing test data. This way, you don’t have to write code to insert each record individually, and you can reuse the same data for multiple test methods. Test.loadData also allows you to specify the number of records to load, so you can easily test with 200 account records. Using the @isTest(isParallel=true) annotation in the test class does not affect the creation of test data, but it allows the test class to run in parallel with other test classes, which can improve performance. Using the @isTest(seeAllData=true) annotation in the test class is not recommended, as it makes the test methods rely on data in a particular organization, which can cause unexpected failures or inconsistencies. It is also a bad practice to use real data for testing, as it can expose sensitive information or cause unwanted side effects. References:

QUESTION: 130
The Job_Application__c custom object has a field that is a Master-Detail relationship to the Contact object, where the Contact object is the Master. As part of a feature implementation, a developer needs to retrieve a list containing all Contact records where the related Account Industry is ‘Technology’ while also retrieving the contact’s Job_Application__c records.
Based on the object’s relationships, what is the most efficient statement to retrieve the list of contacts?
A. [SELECT Id, (SELECT Id FROM Job_Applications_r) FROM Contact WHERE
Account.Industry = ‘Technology’];
B. [SELECT Id, (SELECT Id FROM Job_Applications_r) FROM Contact WHERE
Accounts.Industry = ‘Technology’];
C. [SELECT Id, (SELECT Id FROM Job_Applications_c) FROM Contact WHERE
Accounts.Industry = ‘Technology’];
D. [SELECT Id, (SELECT Id FROM Job_Application_c) FROM Contact WHERE
Account.Industry = ‘Technology’];
Answer: A
To query child records from a parent object, you need to use a subquery inside parentheses. The subquery should specify the fields to retrieve from the child object, and the relationship name to use. The parent object should be specified after the FROM clause, and any filter conditions on the parent object should be specified after the WHERE clause. In this case, the parent object is Contact, the child object is Job_Application__c, the relationship name is Job_Applications__r, and the filter condition is Account.Industry = 'Technology'.
The other options are incorrect because they use the wrong relationship name or syntax. Option B uses Accounts instead of Account, which is not a valid field on the Contact object. Option C uses Job_Applications_c instead of Job_Applications__r, which is not a valid relationship name. Option D uses Job_Application_c instead of Job_Applications__r, which is also not a valid relationship name. References:
