Hi, I would like to share another database unit test tool-AnyDbTest

AnyDbTest is one outstanding DB unit testing and data validating tool.(Official website, http://www.anydbtest.com).

Writing unit and component tests for objects with external dependencies, such as databases or other objects, can prove arduous, as those dependencies may hinder isolation. Ultimately, effective white-box tests isolate an object by controlling outside dependencies, so as to manipulate its state or associated behavior.

If you are an app developer, you can utilize mock objects or stubs to for controlling outside database dependency. But if you are a DB developer, these mock and stub frameworks cannot give you any helps.

AnyDbTest provides an elegant solution for controlling a database dependency within applications by allowing developers to manage the state of a database throughout a test. With AnyDbTest, a database can be seeded with a desired data set before a test; moreover, at the completion of the test, the database can be placed back into its pre-test state.

Automated tests are a critical facet of most successful software projects. AnyDbTest allows developers to create test cases that control the state of a database during their life cycles; consequently, those test cases are easily automatic, as they do not require manual intervention between tests; nor do they entail manual interpretation of results.

The best way to see how AnyDbTest works is to read Quick Start.
