My past scripting experience has been of the quick and dirty variety, but at a new contract, I am doing a bit more. Just having an extra space in a cut-pasted server name caused one query not to work.Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:08:46 GMTlptechhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1354998-2838-1.aspxExperience in DB testing does not necessarily imply developer-level skills. Quantifying what your team's skillset will help you make decisions. Since this is an established team it might be good to have a look at what they currently produce in terms of deliverables (source control repository?) and ask for any 'process and procedure' documentation the group currently adheres to. If the group is following a specific test methodology then they're already in the game. Knowing the toolset will help shape the approach so I would begin the process of learning that as soon as possible. Most of the DB unit test tools lay out a preferred methodology to follow.Fri, 07 Sep 2012 04:29:00 GMTopc.threehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1354998-2838-1.aspx[quote][b]opc.three (9/6/2012)[/b][hr]Wow, tough assignment. Are your team members skilled as developers? i.e. will they be writing unit tests to exercise code other developers have written? What kind of tools will be used for testing? SSMS only, Visual Studio for Database Professionals, non-Microsoft tools? Will they be black-box testers or white-box testers?[/quote]Yeah !!! Actually as I mentioned earlier team members are having experience in DB testing and they will be writing test cases.They will do both balck-box and white-box testing. Regarding the tool, as of now I don't have idea and I guess will come to know once it about to start.Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:00:39 GMTrhythmkhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1354998-2838-1.aspxWow, tough assignment.
