Abstract:
An integrated development environment operable in a computer with a memory for generating source code which implements and tests a query object that accesses a database, the query object having a method that, when invoked, submits a predefined query to the database, the environment comprising:an internal state store which stores database-independent information representing the query object in the memory, the database-independent information including a database-independent query to be implemented by the query object; a first code generator which is responsive to the database-independent information for generating source code which implements the query object and the method from the database-independent query; a second code generator which is responsive to the database-independent information for generating test code for the query object; a builder which is responsive to the source code which implements the query object for building a query object program and is responsive to the source code which implements the test code for building a test program; and a test framework which operates with the test program to test the query object.
