Incorporate the Database Professional into the software lifecycle and provide them
with a foundation for change management and process integration.
•
Change Management
●
●
Project Based Development
•
Project Model that represents schema as objects providing a “personal sandbox” for offline
development that lives within a Visual Studio Solution
•
Team Collaboration with Work Item and Process Integration with Team Foundation Server
Automated Change Support
•
•
•
●
Database Unit Testing
•
•
•
Rename Refactoring with the ability to preview pending changes prior to execution
Comparison Tools (Schema & Data Compare) allow comparisons & synchronization of
schema and data with design/test/production databases
Version Control of all database objects with the ability to reverse engineer a database to
bring it under Source Control
Database Unit Testing ensures iterative changes don’t break existing functionality
Data Generator provides Repetitive Dataset Generation for tests based on saved settings
Build / Deployment
●
●
MSBuild Integration for Database Deployments/Builds based on Projects
Either Create a new Database at the target location or Update an Existing Schema

Data Generation
Overview
To create a solid foundation for testing we
support data generation
Deterministic – always generate the same layout
Matched to your schema and very customizable
Easily update generation plan to reflect schema
changes
Bottom Line: Realistic values with representative
distributions
6
Data Generation
Design Time
• Setting up Data Generation implies defining:
●
●
●
●
●
Which generator to use
Which distribution to attach to the generator
Changing setting on the generator & distribution
The numbers of rows to generate
Optionally defining ratios between related tables
• By default:
●
Each column is bound to the generator matching the column data
type
• FK columns are mapped to the Foreign Key generator
• Uniqueness is inferred from PK, UC constraints and indexes
• Using the Uniform distribution when not unique
Data Generation
Design Time
Value generators
• Simple generators for each data type
●
●
●
●
●
●
Strings: ASCII and Unicode ((var)char, n(var)char, (n)text)
Numbers: tinyint, smallint, int, bigint, real, float, decimal, numeric,
money
Binary ((var)binary, image)
Date and Time
UniqueIdentifier (GUID)
Bit
• Complex generators
●
Foreign Key, Regular Expression, Data Bound
• Distributions
●
Uniform, Normal, Inverse Normal, Exponential, Inverse
Exponential

Data Generation
Design Time
• Understand domain constraints
●
Check constraints (min/max)
• Table cardinality
●
●
Enforce table ratios
Ex) Orders \ OrderDetails
Data Generation
Executing a Data Generation Plan
• Validation of
●
Security requirements
• Fails when security requirements are not met!
●
Target schema against DGEN definitions
• Fails the generation when bindings do not match!
• Optionally purge tables
●
Required to guarantee repeatable data generation
• Spin up parallel streams of INSERT statements
●
●
Based on relationships between tables
Number of connections used is currently gated by the schema
relationships
• Configurable Error Thresholds

Customization & Extensibility
• Customization of value generation

Database Unit Testing
Overview
• Ensures that database changes do not break existing
code
• Generate automated tests for programmability objects
• Develop a battery of tests to run with every database
build
• Design & customize your tests in the language of your
choice
●
T-SQL, VB.NET\C#
• Builds on existing Team Test unit testing functionality
• Integrate your database tests along side your application
unit tests
Database Unit Testing
Designer Experience
• Develop your database unit test through an easy to use
database test designer
• Test Script Generation
●
Automatically generate test script stub for
• Stored Procedures, Functions, Triggers
• Test Script
●
SQL to exercise the object under test
• Pre\Post Test Scripts
●
SQL executed prior to and after test script to setup & cleanup
test
• Test Initialize\Cleanup Scripts
●
Common SQL executed prior to and after every test
Database Unit Testing
Test Validation
• Two primary methods of validating database unit
tests
●
T-SQL Assertions
• RAISERROR
●
Test Conditions
• Easily configured UI-based client side assertions
• Supported types
–
–
–
–
–
–
Empty ResultSet
Not Empty ResultSet
Row Count
Scalar Value
Execution Time
Inconclusive
Database Unit Testing
Test Execution
• Automatic Deployment Integration
●
Automatically deploy database project prior to running
tests
• Data Generation Integration
●
Automatically generate data based on generation
plan prior to running tests
• Execution & Validation connection strings
●
Validation connection can be higher privileged
account
Database Unit Testing
Test Execution
• Ways to execute database tests
●
From Visual Studio
• Test Menu \ Test View \ Test Manager \ Test Results
• F5 Experience
●
Command-line
• Mstest.exe
●
Team Build
• Execute tests post Team Build
Database Unit Testing
Creating a database unit test

Database Unit Testing
Exploring the Generated Code
• Database unit test designer round-trips
generated VB.NET\C# code
• ADO.NET code to
●
●
Execute SQL against target
Validate test conditions
• Exposed code enables variety of
customization scenarios
Database Unit Testing
Data-driven Testing
• Have the ability to parameterize inputs in test
script
• Feed inputs from a database table
• Easily test a variety of inputs in a single test
case
• Requires customization of VB.NET\C# code
Database Unit Testing
Custom Verification Logic
• Add custom verification logic in VB.NET\C#
• Exposed ExecutionResult object
●
●
Exposes resultset data returned from test script
Exposes execution time & rows affected info
• Take advantage of Classic Team Test
Assertions
Database Unit Testing
Transaction Support
• Data Generation
●
Used to ensure consistent database state
prior to test run
• Transaction Support
●
●
Ensures consistent state during test run
Two Methods
• Transactions in T-SQL
• System.Transactions in VB.NET\C#
Database Unit Testing
Negative Testing
• Expected error cases are as important to
test as main success scenarios
• 3 methods
●
●
●
SQL – Try\Catch
VB.NET\C# - Try\Catch
VB.NET\C# - Expected Exception Attribute
Database Unit Testing
Custom Test Conditions
• Create re-usable advanced verification logic
• Fully supports test condition extensibility
• Author a new test condition that derives from
TestCondition base class in any .NET language
• Complete integrated UI experience
Database Unit Testing
Integration with Application Tests
• Create VS solution containing both app & db
projects
• Support for heterogeneous test lists
• Run application & database tests side-by-side
• Ensure database changes don’t break data
access through app tests
Database Unit Testing
Wrap Up
• Database Unit Testing ensures quality in the data tier
• Data Generation to support repeatable data generation
for testing
• First class unit testing framework for database
developers
• Integrate your database tests along side your application
tests
