Abstract

Most of today’s business applications rely on database management systems (Database-Driven Applications or DBAPs). Testing DBAPs requires not only knowing the functions to invoke and test, the input values, and the expected results; testers also need an initial database state (DBAP test data). Popular methods for deriving database test data include generators for synthetic test data, manual test data design, and live system snapshots. In this paper we analyze the major impact factors important for commercial projects when choosing a DBAP test data provisioning method.
