Welcome to the utPLSQL Project

This is the utPLSQL Sourceforge site for developers using and developing utPLSQL. The Sourceforge project summary is here.

What is it?

utPLSQL is a unit testing framework for programmers using Oracle's PL/SQL language. Developed by Steven Feuerstein, author of many books on the subject, it allows the automated testing of packages, functions and procedures. For background on the project and the reasons why this sort of unit testing is a good idea, visit the utPLSQL site of the O'Reilly and Associates Oracle Resource Center.

Where can I get more details?

The documentation is available as part of the utPLSQL download and also online. Discussion about utPLSQL takes place at the forum at utplsql.oracledeveloper.nl. This has been put together by Patrick Barel, a utPLSQL contributor. This should be your first call for questions, suggestions and help with utPLSQL. For announcements about utPLSQL (mainly new releases) register with the Yahoo! utPLSQL-Info group. Discussions until Sept 2002 are also here. Finally, there is archived copy of the former O'Reilly utPLSQL Webboard available here. This is somewhere else to look to see if your question has already been asked (and hopefully answered).

It doesn't do what I need / Doesn't work!

Again, your first call should be the utPLSQL Forum. If your feature request or bug is accepted, it will be added to the list of tasks. Of course, if you find a bug the best thing to do is to post a fix!

How do I get involved?

If you want to help develop utPLSQL, you should:

  1. Register at SourceForge (if you have not yet done so). This means you will then have a "unix name".
  2. Mail Me your "unix name" and I will add you as a utPLSQL project developer.
  3. Then you can get involved, logging bugs, volunteering for jobs, etc. To download the utPLSQL software and see the other utPLSQL project information, visit the Project Summary Page
The tasks are maintained in the Project Task Manager. When you have found one you'd like to try, get one of the project administrators to assign the task to you. Then grab the latest version of the code from CVS and start coding. Once you are done, you should send your changes to the administrators list. We will then merge your changes into the CVS source tree. If you write lots of good code, we'll give you commit privileges on CVS.
