Database Migration Testing
Database migration testing is the process of validating that data, schema objects, application behavior, and database performance remain correct after moving a database to a new platform, version, architecture, or storage system. It verifies that records are transferred completely and accurately, dependencies continue to function, and applications can reliably read and write data in the migrated environment. The testing also checks rollback procedures, security controls, and operational stability during and after the migration.
