Database Testing

Database Testing with Examples

Table of Contents

Database is collection of information. The database application resides on database servers. The database development team. The database servers are setup and managed by database administrators. Sometimes, the role of database developers and database administrators is played by the same team. The concept of database testing includes processing of database connection, executing queries, fetching data and disconnecting database instances. The database testing is performed by QA team, usually alone with functional testing.

The technical implications which are associated with automated database testing considering few scenarios where the database testing is performed with automated testing. Database testing is performed precisely which is called as testing application in conjunction with database in order to ensure that the changes. We are required to make sure the data entered from the UI is consistently reflected in the database. Thus we retrieve the information from the database and the database retrieved is verified against the information supplied by the UI. 

Database testing: Example 1

Consider an example of filling the registration forms, user data and user profiles which updates and deletes the user data. Thus there is a test scenario to automate which can be verified by the user’s information that is successfully saved into the database as soon as the user registers in the  application. 

Database testing: Example 2

Another example of database testing, which performs the associative database testing. Assume that we performed an operation on the application’s UI and we want to test the reflection in the database that may be case which is impacted as data resides in various tables of the database due to the association. It is advisable to test, the data reflection at all the impacted areas. 

Database testing: Example 3:

To test the same bank money transfer:

step 1: check the balance of account A & B. e.g.: A = 500, B = 600

step 2: transfer money using the UI, account A to B, 200

step 3: again check the balance of account A & B. After successful transaction, account A is deducted by 200 and account B is credited by 200 e.g.: A = 300, B = 800

Language used to interact with the database while database testing: 

SQL : Structured Query Language

Tools used for viewing the data in the database:

eg: Toad data point, MS SQL server management studio, Oracle editors etc

Database testing is performed by Software testing team.

An automation testing tool, like Selenium, as said simulates the user interactions with the applications under test.it can simulate keyboard events, mouse actions etc. When the user desires to automate anything outside the vicinity of browser- web application interactions, then selenium can’t be of much help. We may require other tools for end-to-end database testing. 

Thus in all above scenarios, we may perform database testing along with the UI automation. The database testing is verification of values in database accepted through web or desktop application. As software industry gets more advanced, the applications gets more complex. So testing various parameters are required.

    Tools used for viewing the data in the database:
    eg: Toad data point, MS SQL server management studio, Oracle editors In Database testing mainly we cover 3 things :-
    1.We validate the existence of values in the database table.
    2.We validate the correctness of value in the database table.
    3.We validate completeness of value in the database table.

  10. Database Testing is a type of software testing that checks the schema, tables, triggers, etc. of the Database under test. It also checks data integrity and consistency. Database Testing is Important in software testing because it ensures data values and information received and stored into the database are valid or not. Database testing helps to save data loss, saves aborted transaction data, and no unauthorized access to the information. The database is important for any software application hence testers must have good knowledge of SQL for database testing.

Database testing: For example, to test the same bank money transfer:

    step 2: transfer money using the UI, account A to B, 200

  15. Database is collection of information which resides on database server. The database server are set up and managed by database admins. Sometimes database dev. and database admins can be played by same team. Database testing is performed by QA usually alone with Functional testing. Database is performed with automation testing. UI is used consistently in database to retrieve the info from the database and database is verified against the info. supplies by UI.
    Example: To test the same bank transfer:
    Step 1: check the balance of account A and B. Eg: A= 1000 B= 500
    Step 2: Transfer funds using UT, account A to B = 400
    Step 3: Again check balance of account A and B, successful transaction, account A balance will be deducted by $400, account B will be credited by $400. At the end after successful transaction account A= 600 B= 900

Database testing example 2 is assume that an operation is performed on the application’s UI and we want to test the reflection in the database that may be case which is impacted as data resides in various tables off database due to association. It is advisable to test, the data reflection at all the impacted areas. Database testing example 3 is to test the same bank money transfer. Account A is deducted by certain amount of dollars and account B is credited by certain amount of dollars.

    Tools used for viewing the data in the database are toad data point, MS SQL server management studio, oracle editor etc. Database testing is performed by software testing team. Selenium, application testing tool, stimulates user interactions with the application under test. It can stimulate keyboard events, mouse actions etc. In order to automate outside the vicinity of browser- web application interactions, selenium cannot be used. Other tools for end to end database testing can be used.

  19. Database testing includes performance data validity, data integrity testing, performance check related to the database, and testing of procedures, triggers, and functions in the database. It is software testing that checks the schema, tables, triggers, etc. The database testing is performed by the QA team, usually along with functional testing. The technical implications are associated with automated database testing considering a few scenarios where the database testing is performed with automated testing. Database testing is performed precisely, called a testing application in conjunction with the database to ensure the changes.
    Database testing Example
    To test the same bank money transfer:
    step 1: check the balance of account X and Y e.g.: X = 800,Y = 400
    step 2: transfer money using the UI, account X to Y= 300
    step 3: again check the balance of accounts A & B. After a successful transaction, account X is deducted by 300, and account Y is credited by 300 e.g: X=500, Y =700
