Chapter 6. Testing Databases

     

Many programs need to work with external data. Given Perl's powerful and useful modules for database access, many programs use relational databases, simple flat files, and everything in between. It's in those places, where the real world and your program interact, that you need the most tests.

Fortunately, the same testing tools and techniques used elsewhere make testing databases and database access possible. The labs in this chapter explore some of the scenarios that you may encounter with applications that rely on external data storage and provide ideas and solutions to make them testable and reliable.
