404 :  Automated Testing Strategies for Databases
Tuesday, 3:45pm - 5:00pm

 
Track: Test Automation

Almost all significant applications, especially those for the web, involve some sort of database. There are several challenges that come up when automating testing of data-intensive applications, including test repeatability, performance, transactional integrity and parallel test execution.

This session will present a number of solutions to these problems along with several concrete implementations of the solutions. Participants will be expected to have a working knowledge of relational databases and an understanding of the principles of database programming and test automation
