Test suites: validate database content

[techsmyth]

Description

Ensuring that the data in the database can be included in the expected outcomes from running tests

Goal

More robust QA test harness e.g. validating no authorization policies without credential rules

Hypothesis

Access to database content, via a strongly typed setup, would enable a lot more testing to be automated

Must have scope

• Ability to do database queries using strong typing (so not raw sql or raw query builder)
• Ability to customize the database to connect to
• Definition and implementation of the first QA tests to be carried out in this way
• utilities to support added to tests-lib package
