Automated and Repeatable Test Cases for SQL Server Development Waterfall  Agile Manual  Automated Although Agile projects need automated testing, all projects need testing.

Test Driven Development Create test then write code to pass test. Unit Testing, Functional Testing, Acceptance Testing. Testing system develops over time.

Software Setup Windows 8.1 Pro SQL Server 2014 Developer Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition -- SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) included -- Visual Studio 2013 BI Data tools Installed Adventure Works OLTP SSDB on local server Installed Adventure Works OLAP SSDB on local server Installed Adventure Works OLAP SSAS on local server

Story/Requirement Story/Requirement To analyse how people first find out about our company. Tasks Update stored procedures that insert, update or delete fields about a person.

Other tests (Cont.) Linked Server to check SSAS values

What Next? Test SSIS ETL from OLTP DB to OLAP DB. Other possible tests FK relationships Indexes SQL Server properties

What Else? TSQLUnit, tSQLt ssisUnit Redgate, Varigence Cucumber, Specflow .NET
