utPLSQL, originally developed by Steve Feuerstein around 15 years ago, may have been the first Oracle unit testing framework and seems to be the most widely used. Its new utPLSQL GitHub Page describes itself thus:
The official new home of utPLSQL, unit testing framework for PL/SQL, based on xUnit.
xUnit refers to the family of unit testing frameworks derived from Java’s JUnit, and present in most object-oriented languages, such as Ruby, Python etc.
It has occurred to me that some of the problems with unit testing in the database world may arise from translating object-oriented ideas on testing too zealously into the database world, where they may not work so well. It could also impinge on the design of base code, in that in the object-oriented world any complexity in unit tests is usually seen as a ‘code smell’ indicating the base units are too complex; testability is seen as a key objective in OO module design. To gain some insight into the differences between database and object-oriented testing, it seemed like a good idea to try to test the same functionality in both Java and Oracle. This article gives the results of this experiment.
I have submitted an abstract for a presentation entitled “Database Functional Testing: Automation, Yes; xUnit-Style Micro-Testing, No” to one of the Oracle User Group conferences for Q1 2017, but it has not yet been approved or rejected.
Update, 10 May 2017: My abstract for the Ireland OUG in March 2017 was not accepted. I did present on a second abstract that was accepted: Dimensional Performance Benchmarking of SQL – IOUG Presentation
Testing Example
In Java unit testing one normally tries to test code in isolation, without database access or other dependencies, whereas in Oracle it is normally database operations that are being tested. As a compromise I chose to implement code that would read a single key column from a CSV file and store counts of the key values in memory, with methods to return these key-value pairs as lists either unordered, ordered by key, or ordered by value (then key).
The constructor method will take three parameters:
- File name
- Delimiter
- Key column position
We’ll use the same file name, which in Java will include the full path, whereas Oracle will assume the path from an Oracle directory object. There will be two scenarios that will test different values for the other two parameters simultaneously (as what I call sub-scenarios in Design Patterns for Database API Testing 1: Web Service Saving 1 – Design).
For the unordered method, we will validate only the scalar count of the records returned, while for the ordered methods we will validate the full ordered lists of tuples returned. For illustrative purposes one test method for each scenario will have a deliberate error in the expected values.
Test Scenario 1 – Tie-break/single-delimiter/interior column
Here the test file has four columns, with the key column being the third, and the delimiter a single character ‘,’. The file contains lines:
0,1,Cc,3 00,1,A,9 000,1,B,27 0000,1,A,81
Note that keys ‘Cc’ and ‘B’ both occur once, and when ordered by value (then key) ‘B’ should appear before ‘Cc’.
Test Scenario 2 – Two copies/double-delimiter/first column
Here the test file has three columns, with the key column being the first, and the delimiter two characters ‘;;’. The file contains two identical lines:
X;;1;;A X;;1;;A

JUnit Notes
- JUnit first creates instances of the test class for each test method and starts running the tests after each instance is created
- From JUnit 4 it is possible to data-drive testing by means of the @Parameters annotation, as implemented here, whereas I identified lack of data-driving as a common antipattern
- Test methods are identifiable only by their method names rather than full descriptions
- Scenarios are identifiable only by a number, which is even worse
- Execution of a test method (instance) is aborted on failure of any assertion
- Here there is only one test method per base method, but in general there could be several
- JUnit aborting on assertion failure means that unit tests should have one or very few assertions, with additional unit tests being generated where necessary
- Data-driving allows JUnit to generate additional unit tests from a single method at run-time for each scenario
- A good approach is to start with a single parameterized scenario, then add new scenarios just by adding data records; this is how I usually proceed in Oracle
- On assertion failure JUnit prints expected and actual values for both scalar and complex values passed to the assertion

utPLSQL Notes
- Code is shared between the three test methods by means of a common local procedure Do_Test
- Data-driving is achieved by using generic arrays and looping over scenarios
- Only the simple assertion procedure utAssert.Eq is used; from experience the complex utPLSQL assertions are rarely suitable, and I think it is conceptually simpler to avoid them altogether
- In general the lists of actual and expected values may have different cardinalities, so looping over them I use the minimum cardinality as loop maximum, and explicitly assert the counts; this means you may not see the detail for the unmatched records – in my own TRAPIT framework I handle this case by adding null records to the smaller list
- Delimited records are asserted to limit the number of assertions, which would matter more in realistic cases having larger number of columns
- utPLSQL does not have any data model for scenarios or output groups, with just a single description field available within the assert call to describe the scenario/group/assertion; I recommend bundling scenario and group information into this message for want of anything better
- utPLSQL allows only one test method per base method, unlike JUnit, so multiple assertions may be necessary; fortunately an assertion failure does not abort the test procedure
- utPLSQL test procedures run sequentially, in alphabetical order, unlike JUnit
Oracle – TRAPIT
This is the framework I described in articles listed at TRAPIT – TRansactional API Testing in Oracle. I have renamed the framework, dropping the phrase ‘unit testing’ because it has connotations from JUnit of testing small, isolated pieces of code, which is not what it is intended for.

TRAPIT Notes
- The approach to code-sharing and data-driving is similar to that used in the utPLSQL version
- No assertions are made at all in the client code; the actual values are collected and passed to the library procedure for assertion
- The famous 'arrange-act-assert' OO pattern is therefore not followed, with no ill effects
- The output displays all inputs and outputs in 3-level format: Scenario/Group/Record with scenario descriptions, group names and column headings passed in
Oracle - SQL Developer Unit Test
I briefly tried to use this gui framework as well, but soon gave up when I could not see how to handle the object array return values.
Conclusions
- Some significant differences in the functionality of the frameworks between utPLSQL and JUnit have been noted
- Following design patterns for testing from the OO world may not always be advisable
- It may be best to drop the term 'unit testing' for the database altogether, with the understanding that testing only transactional APIs such as web service procedures is a much more efficient approach
- Consider using a data-driven approach to testing multiple scenarios, in testing both database and Java code, where applicable
