Database Testing on .Net Rocks!

andyleonard — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 10:00:00 GMT

I am honored to be the guest of a .Net Rocks! show on Database Testing! Richard Campbell, Carl Franklin, and I recorded the show last night and I had a lot of fun!

Richard and I commiserated about the "DBA condition" in the enterprise. Everyone shared "war stories" about projects. A good time was had by all.

I have to thank Chris Love - friend, tireless advocate of the Raleigh Developer Community, fellow Solid Quality Mentor, and (finally!) MVP - for setting this up. He was the gracious emcee of my recent presentation on Testing The Database to TriNUG (Triangle .Net User Group). Chris had heard a recent .Net Rocks! show where the discussion turned briefly to database testing, so he did the leg work to put Carl, Richard, and myself together for this show.

The show is scheduled for release 29 Jan 2008.

From my PASS presentations: Custom Test Condition Code: ETL Counts (Team Edition for Database Professionals)

I'd like to thank the people that attended my sessions at the 2007 PASS Summit in Denver this week! I had a blast and hope you all did as well.

The code will be available from the PASS website and on a DVD. For those in my sessions, I promised I would post the code here for my custom Counts test condition for Team Edition for Database Professionals. Free registration at VSTeamSystemCentral.com is required.

Extending Team Edition for Database Professionals with custom test conditions is fairly straightforward once you understand it. (Like everything else in life, Mr. Obvious...)

If you are completely new to coding and would like to build a custom test condition for database testing, fear not! The last part of Chapter 4 (entitled Testing the Database) of the Wrox book Professional Software Testing with Visual Studio 2005 Team System: Tools for Software Developers and Test Engineers is dedicated to a beginner's walk-through of building your first custom test condition.

Yes I am promoting my new book. There's a reason: it's a good book.
