For instance you may need to verify, in the dabatase, the result of operations performed by the application.

AscentialTest provides a set of features (cf. Class database and its methods) to connect to a database, execute a SQL Query, fetch the result and verify it.

Tests can set and get values from most databases, as long as they have an ODBC driver.

This can be useful for various cases:

• Of course, you can verify the data resulting from operations performed by the application.
• Some companies do not want to use test data entered manually by testers to change the data from one test run to another
• To deal with real life data that may bring unexpected values or cases that testers would not anticipate.
