Introduction

What is libtest-mockdbi-perl

libtest-mockdbi-perl is:

Test::MockDBI has a major advantage over DBI::trace() or DBD::Mock – Test::MockDBI lets you change how the mocked DBI functions behave, along with modifying what data is returned by the mocked DBI functions. These changes and modifications can be made specific to particular SQL statement patterns.

This ability to modify DBI function behavior and DBI-returned data makes it easier to test code that has different branches for different DBI behaviors – you can test that a failure within DBI or returned DB data that is different than normal is processed correctly by your module or program. If you are taking over a large code base, Test::MockDBI will help in understanding the code by allowing you to safely check how the code behaves under different database conditions without modifying any databases (production or otherwise).
