You have been hired into a small company where a hot-shot developer serves as business analyst and project manager on top of his development duties.

1) Test the upgrade itself. Do problems arise? Has anything new been introduced that needs to be accounted for? If so, make sure it works properly.
2) Run functional tests that rely on the database to ensure they function properly.
3) Run performance tests to ensure data is obtained within specified performance parameters.
4) Ensure data integrity is maintained after upgrade. Contstraints, for example, should still be handled as expected.
5) Run load and/or stress test to ensure the upgraded database still handles user load and performs well under the most business-critical resource-intensive circumstances.
6) Test the Oracle client. Ideally, any issues will have been caught in the upgrade test, but it is a necessary step in the process.virgosls

1. Identify and execute the testcases which can exercise all the database operations from application.2. Execute automation scripts3. Execute performance tests4. Identify and execute testcases which update the existing records to test the backward compatibilty.
