You're missing BEGIN keyword after the FOR EACH ROW clause.

The entire syntax diagram for the CREATE TRIGGER statement is here (true, quite overwhelming, but sometimes indispensable). A guide on triggers (containing some examples) can be found here.

However, your insert syntax is also wrong. Generally, syntax statements look likeThe values can be literals, variables or expressions in general.

And lastly, it is not entirely clear what NUM1 and NUM2 are. If they are columns in the TESTING table, you need to access them using the :new variable, eg. :new.num1.
