At some point in every software project involving a database it becomes necessary for the developers who created (or inherited) the project to step back and take a look at their database. Many projects have a database schema that has evolved over time, with columns added here and tables added there, increasing complexity and often adding redundancy.
Doug Judd (Zvents, Inc.)
Moderated by: Doug Judd

Paper:
PLUTO_ PL_SQL Unit Testing for Oracle Paper
[PDF]
More and more enterprise code is being created inside the database. Often this code slips by with few if any automated tests. It is as if there is some exception for database code that frees it from having to be properly wrapped in tests. The PL/SQL Unit Testing for Oracle (PLUTO) framework was built to provide a JUnit-like interface for PL/SQL programmers to properly test their code.
Robert Treat (OmniTI)
