Abstract
Provided are a system, method and article of manufacture for validating an expected data output of an application under test. A first table comprising named columns populated with the expected data output and a second table comprising named columns associated with the expected data output of the named columns of the first table are retrieved. The named columns of the first table are compared with the named columns of the second table. An alert is generated in response to detecting a difference between a characteristic of a named column of the first table and a characteristic of a named column of the second table.
Claims21
A system for validating an expected data output of an application under test, comprising:
- a retrieval component for retrieving a first table comprising named columns populated with the expected data output and a second table comprising named columns associated with the expected data output of the named columns of the first table;
- a comparator component for comparing the named columns of the first table with the named columns of the second table;
- and
- a notification component for generating an alert in response to detecting a difference between a characteristic of a named column of the first table and a characteristic of a named column of the second table.
A method for validating an expected data output of an application under test, comprising:
- retrieving, from a memory, a first table comprising named columns populated with the expected data output and a second table comprising named columns associated with the expected data output of the named columns of the first table;
- comparing the named columns of the first table with the named columns of the second table;
- and
- generating an alert in response to detecting a difference between a characteristic of a named column of the first table and a characteristic of a named column of the second table.
An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium having code executed to validate an expected data output of an application under test and perform operations, the operations comprising:
- retrieving a first table comprising named columns populated with the expected data output and a second table comprising named columns associated with the expected data output of the named columns of the first table;
- comparing the named columns of the first table with the named columns of the second table;
- and
- generating an alert in response to detecting a difference between a characteristic of a named column of the first table and a characteristic of a named column of the second table.
