SQL数据表作为单元测试中的测试数据

Question

I have tried unit testing with test data from excel sheet and it worked fine (after following the instructions from MSDN dosuments). However now I would like to take the test data directly from data base, can anyone please tell me the steps to follow as I was unable to find related document in the Website.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Is there anything else also I need in order to acheive the task?

Regards,

SJ

Answer 1

I am using Microsoft Unit Test Framework. In this we can add a data source for unit testing. I added the following data source for Excel sheet:

 <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyExcelConn"
         connectionString="Dsn=Excel Files;dbq=.\\CoreTestData.xlsx;defaultdir=.; driverid=790;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5"
         providerName="System.Data.Odbc" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <microsoft.visualstudio.testtools>
    <dataSources>
      <add name="MyExcelDataSource"
           connectionString="MyExcelConn"
           dataTableName="Sheet1$"
           dataAccessMethod="Sequential"/>
   </dataSources>
  </microsoft.visualstudio.testtools>

Now wondering if we can somehow do the same with data table. Reference : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182527.aspx
