Answer / shaik

Unit Testing is one of the testing process to provide some
sample data (hard coded data some times) to ensure your
logic is working as expected.
Talking Unit Testing specific to Informatica this is how I
did :
1. Generate a reference table from a .csv file on
Informatica Analyst.
2. Generate a profile using this Reference table( when ever
a reference table is creared a corresponding sql table is
created in the provided db during configuration)
3. Apply your rule (mapplet) on your profile and check if
you get the expected results.
4.You can add /remove data in the reference table to check
various scenarios.
