Answer / rajendra prasad reddy penumall

sorry sudeep your answer is wrong DATA DRIVEN TESTING is
nothing but restesting the application with different types
of inputs.

BUT database testing is different.

here the database testing means the data entered in the
front end should store properly and the data stored in the
backend(database like SQL server,Oracle..)should be display
in front end properly without any change.

here the data stored in the backend in the form of tables.

for eample if we take yahoomail login page for signin
the frontend the login window askes you your UserID and
password.

the user ID and password will be compared with the databse
table values which you entered at the time of new account
registration.

So here there is a big diffrenece bet ween database testing
and Data Driven testing.

Database testing is testing of data consistemcy in the
database

Answer / guest

Database testing is nothing but testing the mapping between
front and back end.
Ex:When an user details is entered in front end, then the
details should be confirmed in the database whether the
entered details are properly inserted in the corresponding
table(s).

Answer / ajit kumar lal

Database testing means any/all of following as per the
application:

1. Ensuring the Data validity: requires SQL queries to
validate the same
2. Ensuring the Data integrity: requires various
constraints (both IO and Buisiness) to check
3. Ensuring the performance of database operations
especially in case if accessing Views and Indexes: Various
tools are available to check the same especially Database
Refactoring. You can also your Database sandbox on the fly
and use TFD or TDD approach to test the same
4. Ensuring the performance of Database when using
Functions, Cursors, trigers etc.

I hope above is clear to all of you......

Answer / sridhar

Database Testing means To test the Appilication from Back
End,Insert,update and delete data from back end and select
same data from front end then compare the information

Ex: Enter Employee information from front End,and update
date the information from back end,select the person front
End,not only for single useful for multiple

Answer / manoj

Actually the database Testing is the testing of data which
should be same as in case of backend as well as front end
this is somewhat at the level of aplication but testing of
database at stand alone database application is vry much
different concept as it implements the concept of database
design the tests are suppose to be carried out at the
design level of database,how the data should stored in
database etc. I hope this clear the difference between
database testing at application level and standalone
database application

Answer / kamalasan.baireddy

Data badse testing is testing the consistence of
data.Whether input data is stored correctly in database or
not?and checking the tables?

Data Driven testing is retesting the same application with
different inputs.

EX:

Any login page talkes inputs as id and passwd.

Data base testing: Checking wheather id and password fileds
are stored in table or not and etc..

Datadriven testing:checking the same page with different
inputs (nothing but regression)
