Unit testing in Data migration different to Unit testing on Application

Hi folks,

From application driven programming background, I always knew Unit Testing is proxy tests we do on the application, purely by developers with some sample data to validate whether the application is working as expected. If we come with the same concept of unit testing on Data migration it’s bonkers! #Mind your software language

Unit testing on Data migration is part of testing data migration, where we test the object count; comparing source and target i.e. schema test. So it’s nothing to do with Data, nor the sample data we pass to test the scripts whether it gives expected output or not.
