Automated Testing Strategies for Databases
Thursday 11.10 - 12.00 in: Keyboard Cat
Almost all significant applications involve some sort of database. Many challenges come up when automating tests of data-intensive applications, including test repeatability, performance, transactional integrity and parallel test execution. This session will present solutions to these problems along with concrete implementations. Participants will be expected to have a working knowledge of relational databases and an understanding of the principles of database programming and test automation.
