What is the test for a defendant to challenge his conviction for assault with a deadly weapon?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Adam, C090510 (Cal. App. 2021):

Next, defendant argues there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for assault with a deadly weapon. In reviewing a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, we review the entire record in the light most favorable to the judgment to determine whether it discloses substantial evidence to support the jury's findings. (People v. Streeter (2012) 54 Cal.4th 205, 241.) We conclude substantial evidence supports the jury's verdict.
