Most common occurring issues during database testing
Below are some of the challenges of database testing and their solutions:
- Frequently changing database structure: The database tester needs to create test cases from the specific structure that gets modified at the time of implementation and there is a need to intercept the modification and impact of modification as early as possible.
- Time-consuming to determine transactions state: The overall planning and timing should be organized so that no extra time and cost issues appear later.
- Unwanted data modification: The best solution to this challenge is to implement access control and provide access to modify data only to a limited number of people. Access should be restricted for EDIT and DELETE operations.
- Cost and Time-consuming to get data: It is very important to maintain a balance between the project timelines, expected quality, and data load.
Database Testing – Software Testing
Database Testing is a type of software testing that checks the schema, tables, triggers, etc. of the database under test. It involves creating complex queries for performing the load or stress test on the database and checking its responsiveness. It checks the integrity and consistency of data. Database testing usually consists of a layered process that includes the User Interface (UI) layer, the business layer, the data access layer, and the database.
