Abstract. Deductive databases generalize relational databases by providing support for recursive views and non-atomic data. Aditi is a deductive system based on the client-server model; it is inherently multi-user and capable of exploiting parallelism on shared-memory multiprocessors. The back-end uses relational technology for efficiency in the management...   Read Article.

What You Need to Know about Database Testing: Testing at the data access layer is the point at which your application communicates with the database.nbsp; In this presentation wersquo;ll discuss why tests at this level are vital to improve not only yournbsp; overall test strategy, but also your productrsquo;s quality. How to design effective automated...   Read Article.

Attendees will learn bull;Why testing of database objects and stored procedures is necessary and whynbsp; popular...   Read Article.

Database design theory is a fairly dry subject, but a basic understanding is necessary to avoid some of the pitfalls encountered when a new database is created. This document provides strategic guidelines for the basic design and development of databases. This white paper cover the follwoing. Database Function Database Design Normalisation Data...   Read Article.

These are my notes on how I've gone about unit testing database functionality. The examples are in Java, but I think the ideas are applicable to a variety of programming environments. I'm looking for better solutions. The problem is this: you have a SQL database, some stored procedures, and a layer of code sitting between your application...   Read Article.

Richard Dallaway notes about database unit testing inspired me the realization of the DbUnit framework. I think this is a very good text about this subject. Hopefully he gave me the permission to present excerpts from his notes here. With multiple database you have to make sure you keep the structure of the databases in sync: if you change a table...   Read Article.

In an effort to predict and plan for behavior of a large database, ods will be creating a large database for test purposes. This database will be appoximately 300 gigabytes, and will reside on d0ora1's raid array. This large project will develop in stages and take several months to complete....   Read Article.

This presentation will take the participant on a journey through the long-winded effort of a manual test-tracking approach that transformed the testing leadrsquo;s job into an administrative nightmare. The original testing approach offered test security to the project, but took up unnecessary time that could have been better spent on actually testing...   Read Article.

Best practices for testing J2EE database applications It wasn't too long ago that quality assurance (QA) teams played the leading (if not the only) role when it came to software testing. These days, however, developers are making an enormous contribution to software quality early in the development process, using automated unit-testing techniques....   Read Article.
