Patent ID: 10162849

Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for automatic database validation associated with a software test. In use, an indication that a user is beginning a software test that utilizes one or more databases is received. A first configuration snapshot of the one or more databases is recorded in response to receiving the indication that the user is beginning the software test, prior to the user beginning the software test. Additionally, an indication that the user has finished the software test is received. A second configuration snapshot of the one or more databases is recorded in response to receiving the indication that the user has finished the software test. The first configuration snapshot of the one or more databases is automatically compared to the second configuration snapshot of the one or more databases. Further, changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the software test are automatically identified, based on the comparing of the first configuration snapshot of the one or more databases to the second configuration snapshot of the one or more databases. The changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the software test are displayed utilizing at least one user interface. Still yet, the changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the software test are automatically compared to past changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from a past software test. A difference in the changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the software test and the past changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the past software test is automatically identified, based on comparing the changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the software test and the past changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the past software test. Moreover, an indication of the difference in the changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the software test and the past changes that occurred in the one or more databases resulting from the past software test is displayed utilizing the at least one user interface.
