Create queries with the data which triggers/procedures should not allow, if the transactions pass, triggers not fired if transaction fails triggers fired.

The concept is simple.Let us take the example of a trigger, say, an update trigger for the employee table.Now, the logic here is, let's say when a row is modified(for eg, Emp name is being changed), that information needs to be emailed to a person.We can use triggers to do this. By setting a trigger on an action, we indirectly ensure that, whenever that action takes place, the corresponding trigger will fire and the commands in the trigger will get executed.

If you put entry in employee table, an entry is created in department table with some values.

Now make a transaction such that employee table gets an entry. To verify correctly you can see the body of trigger in ALL_TRIGGER TABLE with the trigger name and check what values its populating in department table and then you can confirm comparison if department table got what its supposed to get.

For procedures, you should know on what transaction it will be called, and for knowing if its working fine, you may need to see its body which can be in some document prepared by Development

Make a transaction to create entry employee table, where the same row already exists in department table.
Here we will get violation error.
