SQL Testing Frameworks

Speaker: Joel Champagne, President of CodeX Enterprises

Unit testing is something many .NET developers are familiar with, given the deep support available in Visual Studio. Similar strategies for SQL have often received less attention – but why? That’s one of the questions we’ll explore and in discovering answers, also talk about various issues associated with SQL unit testing. Ultimately we’ll be looking at end solutions in demo form, using Visual Studio 2010 and other third party tools.

This is a FREE event. Pizza and drinks will be provided. The first half hour will be networking. The presentation begins around 7 pm with Q&A and raffle prizes to follow.
