Description: Database testing is a set of activities designed to ensure the integrity, accuracy, and performance of data stored in a database management system (DBMS). These tests are fundamental in software development as they ensure that data is handled correctly and that database operations, such as inserts, updates, and deletions, are performed without errors. Database testing can include verifying the database structure, validating data, executing queries, and evaluating performance under different load conditions. Additionally, it focuses on ensuring that transactions are processed in an atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID) manner, which is crucial for maintaining system reliability. In an environment where data is increasingly valuable, database testing has become an integral part of the software development lifecycle, helping to prevent issues that could result in data loss or poor system performance.
