pgTAP is a unit testing framework for PostgreSQL written in PL/pgSQL and PL/SQL. It provides a comprehensive set of TAP-emitting assertion functions for testing schemas, functions, triggers, and query results, and integrates with TAP harnesses or xUnit-style testing.
Use cases
- unit test postgresql database functions
- verify database schema structure in tests
- test triggers and views in postgres
- run TAP-emitting database tests with a harness
- write xUnit-style tests inside postgres
- assert query results match expected sets
When to choose
- you develop PostgreSQL-backed applications and want to test the database itself
- you want TAP output compatible with existing test harnesses
- you need assertions for schema objects, functions, triggers, and result sets
When to avoid
- you use a database other than PostgreSQL
- you cannot install extensions on the database server host
- you only need application-level tests that happen to touch the database
