Database Testing
Database testing is an essential part of any software testing process. It helps ensure that the data stored in a database is accurate and can be accessed by authorized users. DB testing can be performed manually or using automated tools.
There are several different techniques that can be used for DB testing, including: functional testing, load testing, regression testing, and stress testing. Each of these techniques has its own set of tools and methods.
Functional testing is used to test the functionality of the database and its components. This type of testing can be performed using various tools, such as: SQL queries, data entry forms, and reporting tools. Load testing is used to test the performance of the database under heavy loads. This type of testing can be performed using: load generators, stress testers, and performance monitors.
Stress testing is used to test the stability of the database under extreme conditions. This type of testing can also be performed using: load generators, stress testers, and performance monitors
Our approach
There are many different techniques that can be used for database testing. Some common techniques include:
• Data entry testing: This technique is used to verify that data can be entered correctly into the DB. This includes verifying that the correct data format is used and that required fields are not left blank.
• Data retrieval testing: This technique is used to verify that data can be retrieved from the DB as expected. This includes verifying that the correct data is returned and that the results are displayed in the expected order.
• Data security testing: This technique is used to verify that data is stored securely in the DB. This includes verifying that sensitive information is encrypted and that access to the database is restricted to authorized users.
• Data integrity testing: This technique is used to verify that data in the database has not been corrupted or lost. This includes verifying checksums or hash values for records in the database.
