Ruby-plsql-spec is a modern PL/SQL unit testing framework, based on the Ruby testing (or behaviour driven development) framework.^[1]

It was originally developed to give PL/SQL developers an alternative to the utPLSQL framework. The goal was to make it faster to write Unit testing easier and less verbose.^[2]

Features

The key features of Ruby-plsql-spec include:

• Provides a Ruby API for calling PL/SQL procedures and functions, supporting various PL/SQL data types as input and output parameters.^[3]
• Allows writing unit tests for PL/SQL code in Ruby using the RSpec syntax, which is more compact and readable compared to traditional PL/SQL testing frameworks.^[4]
• Includes helper methods and utilities for creating test data and verifying results.^[1]
• Supports running tests against an Oracle database connection specified in a configuration file.^[1]
