Testing data structures in relational databases can be a tedious and cumbersome task. Database structure often changes during development, and queries are often complex. As the number of relations grows, testing the database manually becomes the least efficient method to ensure data integrity. Unfortunately, most rely on hard-coded benchmark tests that evaluate example queries against execution time. However, this approach is not feasible while querying third-party APIs.
Alternatively, you can use Generative testing, which allows you to generate millions of test cases, ensuring broad coverage without the need to run every permutation every time. This automatically builds up a pool of queries and parameters that can be used to reveal defects.
But how do you test that your code is correct when all the test cases are randomly generated?
This edition deep dives into Generative Testing: A smarter way to QA to answer this question and much more!
