                                PRESENTATION

                          Unit Test Your Database!

                                     by

                              David E. Wheeler
                           <david at kineticode.com>

    Given that the database, as the canonical repository of data,
    is the most important part of many applications, why is it
    that we don't write database unit tests? This talk promotes
    the practice of implementing tests to directly test the
    schema, storage, and functionality of databases.

    David E. Wheeler, Founder of Kineticode and Co-Founder of
    PostgreSQL Experts hacks Perl, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and Ruby.
    I believe David is also the lead developer and maintainer
    Bricolage which is a well known CMS.
    David lives in Portland.
