Challenges
In many development projects, we have to accept the fact that it is lack of unit tests for views/stored procedures because we have no handy DB unit testing tool. The typical scenario is,
During testing some views/stored procedures did not return the data that they should have. Developers seemed to take the database code for granted and did not develop unit tests for all of the code parts that relied on the database code. At the same time, the database team was fine with writing code, testing it manually, and assuming that it worked correctly. The truth is that both developers and DBAs were at fault. There was weak informal communication/cooperation in writing these views and stored procedures.
One best practice, we should treat views and stored procedures like any other code. They should be covered by the unit test suite.
Beyond that, as a development leader or a professional DBA who involved in business-critical applications, you know about application development challenges:
- How to minimize the bug leakage from DB developers?
- How to gain benefits from unit testing in DB development phase?
- How to prepare the test data for stored procedures/SQL scripts?
- Improve the performance of legacy stored procedures/SQL scripts, but make sure the new scripts should have the same result in any conditions.
These are not simple problems to overcome. To succeed your database you must first know the exact state of the database. You should be able to easily organize a big amount of test
data and be able to verify result of DB script, in many cases the results often contain a lot of records.
With AnyDbTest, you can embrace all these challenges with fewer resources, in less time, and for less money. See a dramatic, positive impact on your business by AnyDbTest.
