Testing database content with DBUnit. My experience.

The document discusses testing the database layer in a smarter way than usual. It proposes using multiple databases for development, QA, and production environments. The best practice is to initialize test data, call the API, compare the actual database data to the expected data from a file. This can be done using the DBUnit framework which provides components for connecting to a database, representing test data sets, and performing database operations for testing purposes.

- 4. Problem Task: please remove old and didn’t marked data from production! The problem is this: you have a SQL database, some stored procedures, and a layer of code sitting between your application and the database. How can you put tests in place to make sure your code really is reading and writing the right data from the database?

- 6. How I wanted to do that? First step: initialization test data. object file network con. Prepare the data SQL commit
- 7. First step: create the Test and call API.

- 12. DBUnit Framework
- 13. DBUnit Core Components • IDatabaseConnection - interface representing a DbUnit connection to a DB • IDataSet - interface representing a collection of tables • DatabaseOperation - abstract class representing an operation performed on the database before and after each test. Operations: • NONE • UPDATE • INSERT • REFRESH • DELETE • DELETE_ALL • TRUNCATE_TABLE • CLEAN_INSERT (DELETE_ALL and INSERT)
- 15. IDataSet: database DataBase analytics_comments client_id item_id item_name client_id item_id item_name 200 01 name - #1 200 02 name - #2 200 03 name - #3
- 16. IDataSet: XML file Initialized Expected
- 19. A bit more
- 20. Supported RDBMS • OracleDatabase • MsSQL • MySQL • IbmDB2 • IbmInformix • H2 • HypersonicSQL • PostgreSQL • SybaseSQL • InterBase • OpenBase8 • SapDB/MaxDB • Derby • FrontBase Where is Aster database??? NOTE: 1. latest version of DBUnit framework doesn’t support Oracle Schemas… 2. and very inert community…
