Test case generation for database applications

Structured Query Language (SQL) statements are widely used in the database application and are essential part of database testing. In development stage of a database application, SQL statements may be used incorrectly because of syntactic change which is termed as mutant. To determine the correctness of SQL statements proper test dataset generated through a proper guideline can lead to find faults in SQL statements. Dr Sarker proposed a number of guidelines to generate test datasets for checking the faults for three important types of mutants in SQL. These guidelines are found to be effective to reduce faults in SQL statements.
