Database testing

Database testing is when you check a database to make sure it works correctly. You can do this by running tests on the database to see if it is giving us the correctly answers and if the data it is storing is correct. For example, you might create a test to see if the database correctly adds two numbers together and gives you the correct answer. If it does, then the test will pass and the database is working properly. If the test fails, then you know that the database is not working correctly and it needs to be fixed.
