testing

Test Drive your Oracle database. Yes, it's doable. And it's fun!

06_Red_Green_Refactor Foreword Over a month ago I've made a big decision and a shift in my life. I've decided to move to Ireland and start a new career there. Since I moved, I have significant amount of free time, as I no longer waste 3 hours each day on commuting. Also, since my wife still leaves in Poland (for now), I'm all on my own when I finish my work. Well, maybe that's not 100% true, since now we have Internet with Skype/Hangouts/appear.in and others. Anyway. I'm not feeling lonely, but rather take advantage of the time that is given to me, to catch up on things I've neglected for some time.

How I started to create Unit Tests for Oracle PL/SQL code

Before I started working at Pragmatists I never actually took time or effort to research the web for automating the testing process in Oracle databases. My previous job was more about delivering solutions, advisory, analysis, design and implementation using the traditional cascade product delivery approach. I don't want to get into too many details on how it happened, that me, being a Oracle database developer, landed in Pragmatist, which is an Agile Software Development company specializing in Java, but all I need to say, is that nothing else but good came out of it for me.
