The data comparison is a critical task to accomplish with quality. Any flaw will result one or many failures in an application.
XML is an electronic communication message format that contains data and Database is a physical storage with tables/columns containing data.
Most applications exchange data with each other. These communications may be in the form of XML messages that contain data. Also this data is being stored in a database system and when required the data is fetched by the applications.
Most domains such as finance, marketing, sales, eCommerce, automobile, logistics and manufacturing use this technique for data communication with applications.
To make the XML to Database testing successful, the most crucial input is the mapping document that defines each element in the XML versus the columns in the database.
The mapping document will provide a complete representation of the elements (XML) to the columns (DB) association. The XML element values can be an input to DB tables or vice versa. |
