    Describes how you can use database unit testing to verify whether database objects, such as stored procedures and triggers, behave as you expect. When you perform unit tests in combination with using Data Generator, you can test for predictable results.
  • Comparing Databases
    Describes how you can use Data Compare to identify similarities and differences in the data that is contained in two databases.
