No other vendor employs the extensive testing and certification coverage offered by DataDirect. We test our JDBC drivers under production conditions using our own JDBC Verification Suite (JVS), which has evolved over 20 years to include millions of test cases, multiple connection modes and every known bug fix.

The JVS ensures your target database has been thoroughly tested for quality and reliability. It also tests compliance with the latest JDBC spec, all supported JDKs, and Sun Microsystem’s J2EE Compatibility Test Suite.

Our JVS and 3rd party test suites verify:

  • Compliance with all supported JDKs
  • Compliance with J2EE CTS (Compatibility Test Suite)
  • Compatibility with Java application servers
  • Integration with customer-supplied applications
  • Multiple connection modes: pooled, URL, data source and resource adapter, run against all different versions of the Java runtime

Built-In Tools for Testing and Debugging

DataDirect JDBC drivers come with a SDK that includes tools for testing and debugging JDBC applications:

  • DataDirect Test – A graphical, menu driven tool that helps you debug JDBC applications. It works by displaying the results of all JDBC function calls with sample Java JDBC code (including comments). Learn more about DataDirect Test here.
  • DataDirect Spy – A tool for tracing calls in running programs. The tool passes calls issued by an application to the underlying DataDirect JDBC driver and logs detailed information about those calls. The results passed back from the database to the application are logged too.

For more about DataDirect Test and Spy, see the DataDirect Connect for JDBC User’s Guide and Reference.
