Unit testing in PostgreSQL, while not mandatory for CI/CD processes, has become a crucial practice that many developers adopt. These tests help identify and rectify numerous issues within database functions, significantly reducing the workload for manual testers. In this article, we, Anastasia Tsatskina, a senior developer, and Vladimir Belinsky, a senior test engineer from IBS, share our insights and experiences in implementing database-level unit testing. Our journey highlights the benefits of integrating these tests into our workflow, showcasing how they contribute to improved code quality and efficiency. By adopting unit testing, we have not only streamlined our testing processes but also enhanced the overall reliability of our database operations. Join us as we delve into the methodologies and best practices that can help you effectively implement unit testing in your PostgreSQL environment.
