There are a range of established SQL testing frameworks. Examples include [tSQLt](https://github.com/tSQLt-org/tSQLt)
and [pgTAP](https://github.com/theory/pgtap/) for Postgres.


## In a time crunch? The risks to skipping tests
In an ideal world, testing code would never be skipped, keeping the software reliable,
and easily reproducible. However, in practice there are times when skipping tests may be necessary—
perhaps due to tight deadlines, limited resources, or the need to quickly get a feature up
and running. While this can save time in the moment, it’s important to be cautious, as
skipping tests can lead to hidden problems that may become harder to fix later, particularly
as the project grows. Whenever tests are set aside, it’s best to have a plan for going back to add
them, to avoid risks to the stability and quality of the software.
