Day 2
JDBC Data Driven Testing

3. Data Driven Testing
Testing of application by means of re-usable test logic to reduce maintenance and improve test coverage
Test scripts are executed and verified based on the data values stored in one or more central data sources

4. JDBC API
The industry standard for database- independent connectivity between the Java programming language and a wide range of databases.
Lets you:
Establish a connection with a database
Send SQL statements
Process the results

5. Background Created by SUN in partnership with an array of companies
Rapidly established as the industry-standard, open interface for Java applications to access databases.
Supported by mySQL, Oracle, Sybase, HP, IBM, etc.

6. Advantages of JDBC Zero Configuration for Network Computers
No configuration is required on the client side.
All the information needed to make a connection is completely defined by the JDBC URL or by a DataSource object
No Installation
A pure JDBC technology-based driver does not require special installation;
As simple as adding a jar.

7. Using JDBC
Before we begin we will need to import the content from java.sql package.
Create a Connection with the DB server
Create a SQL Statement to retrieve the data
Collect the ResultSet
Process the Result into a Collection

8. Create Database Connection
Information you will need:
URL = jdbc:mysql://p3plcpnl0912.prod.phx3.secureserver .net:3306/
Database name = seleniumminutes
Driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Username = student
Password = Student2015
Add the following code to Environment.java
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url + dbName, userName, password);

9. Create a SQL Statement & Collect the ResultSet
Let’s create a SQL statement using form:
SELECT * FROM TABLE
String query = “Select * From Calculator_Data”;
Now we are ready to create a statement:
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
Collect the ResultSet:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(selectString);

10. Process the Result
To process each row in the ResultSet, we use the next() method. This method moves the pointer through the rows of data.
The ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to the current row.
Because this cursor is initially positioned before the first row, we must call next() before we can see any rows at all.
while (rs.next()) {
int num1 = rs.getInt("num1"); …
Object[] singleTest = {num1, oper, num2, exp_result};
data.add(singleTest); }

11. What comes up, must come down!
Cleanup
What comes up, must come down!
Before we are done, we must close all open threads.
Close all threads in the reverse order of which they were opened.
Close the statement:
Statement stmt.close();
Close the connection
Environment.closeMySQLConnection();
