Creating Integration Tests for Oracle-to-PostgreSQL Migration

Generates integration test cases for data access artifacts in a single target project. Tests validate behavior consistency when running against Oracle or PostgreSQL.

Workflow

Copy & paste — that's it
Test Creation:
- [ ] Step 1: Discover the test project conventions
- [ ] Step 2: Identify testable data access artifacts
- [ ] Step 3: Create seed data
- [ ] Step 4: Write test cases
- [ ] Step 5: Review determinism

Step 1: Discover the test project conventions

Read the base test class, seed manager, and project file to understand inheritance patterns, transaction management, and seed file conventions.

Step 2: Identify testable data access artifacts

Scope to the target project only. List data access methods that interact with the database — repositories, DAOs, stored procedure callers, query builders.

Step 3: Create seed data

  • Follow seed file location and naming conventions from the existing project.

  • Reuse existing seed files when possible.

  • Avoid TRUNCATE TABLE — keep existing database data intact.

  • Do not commit seed data; tests run in transactions that roll back.

  • Ensure seed data does not conflict with other tests.

  • Load and verify seed data before assertions depend on it.

Step 4: Write test cases

  • Inherit from the base test class to get automatic transaction create/rollback.

  • Assert logical outputs (rows, columns, counts, error types), not platform-specific messages.

  • Assert specific expected values — never assert that a value is merely non-null or non-empty when a concrete value is available from seed data.

  • Avoid testing code paths that do not exist or asserting behavior that cannot occur.

  • Avoid redundant assertions across tests targeting the same method.

Step 5: Review determinism

Re-examine every assertion against non-null values. Confirm each is deterministic against the seeded data. Fix any assertion that depends on database state outside the test's control.

Key Constraints

  • Oracle is the golden source — tests capture Oracle's expected behavior.

  • DB-agnostic assertions — no platform-specific error messages or syntax in assertions.

  • Seed only against Oracle — test project will be migrated to PostgreSQL later.

  • Scoped to one project — do not create tests for artifacts outside the target project.
