As many of my readers likely know by now, I have been working for the past several years on the Quest Code Tester development effort.

Code Tester is the most powerful PL/SQL test automation tool available. You describe the expected behavior of your programs and Code Tester generates your test code, which can then be run from the UI or via a script. With Code Tester, you can build comprehensive regression tests and even implement the Test Driven Development methodology.

A few months ago, I posted on this blog an explanation of how to use Toad’s Code Templates to standardize development and improve productivity. I included an XML document that contains over 20 templates that I thought you might find useful. I also asked my readers to produce XML transformations so that the XML document could be “output” in the format that Toad recognizes (and SQL Navigator as well).
