Run the query against the database, then compare this
result with the original report o/p of cognos. If both the
results having equal number of records and same records,
then testing is OK.

Answer / rao

Unit testing is something that a report developer does from
his end before the report is passed on to UAT. Generally
TOAD is used to write SQL to validate the report. In my
case, I have used TOAD to do the unit testing.
If you don't have TOAD, I am not really sure if there is
any other to do it.

Thanks

Run the query with the type=XML parameter, then use XPath to
find the expected data rows and write specific asserts
against expected values. COuld do it in say VisualStudio or
any tool were you can validate against XML. Ideally, you can
jsut compare the entire document with what you were
expecting, though some items may throw you off.

We're even going to do TDD with cognos using this strategy.
