Test data that hits the right paths
SQL Tran uses static analysis to understand how your code consumes its inputs, then generates targeted test data by sampling your staging environment. Tests that are meaningful by design.
Testing translated procedures and functions requires meaningful input data. But crafting test parameters manually is tedious, error-prone, and rarely covers enough of the code's behavior to be useful.
SQL Tran takes a different approach. Instead of asking you to invent test data, it analyzes how your code actually uses its parameters, then generates test inputs automatically by sampling real data from your staging environment.
How it works
Static analysis meets staging data
For every procedure and function, the analysis engine traces how each parameter flows through the code: what tables it queries, what columns it compares against, what conditions it evaluates. When SQL Tran knows that a parameter is compared against a specific column, it picks a subset of actual values from your staging database.
This produces test cases that are meaningful by design. They hit the branches your code actually takes, not random values that may never trigger interesting behavior.
Procedures
Generated tests validate two things: the data sets returned by the procedure, and all table modifications (inserts, updates, deletes) caused by execution. Each test captures the full observable behavior, not just output.
Functions
Generated tests validate return values. Scalar or data set results alike. Since functions cannot write to tables, there are no side effects to track, keeping validation focused and fast.
Full control when you need it
Auto-generated tests are a starting point. Edit any test to use values you know well or that target specific edge cases. Create fully manual tests by specifying all parameter values yourself.
The combination of automated generation and manual control gives you broad coverage fast, with the ability to go deep where it matters.
Key benefits
- Test inputs derived from static analysis of actual code behavior
- Samples real data from your staging environment for realistic test cases
- Covers procedures (return values + side effects) and functions (return values)
- Auto-generated tests are fully editable. Manual creation also supported.
- Generates extensive test suites in a fraction of the usual time
