                        if ($id == null) {
                        $delete_response->createJSONArray("DATABASE_ERROR",0);
                        } else {
                        $delete_response->createJSONArray("SUCCESS",1);

                } catch (PDOException $e) {
                    $delete_response->createJSONArray("DATABASE_ERROR",0);

            $this->assertEquals($decodedResponse['status']['StatusMSG'], 'SUCCESS');
            $this->assertEquals($decodedResponse['status']['Code'], '1');
 }

help guyss

Answer 1

u can just simply test it before by calling the query like

  $sql = "select * from user";

and compare it with BeforeDeleteUser.xml

And the Call Ur stored procedure

   $sql = "CALL Delete_User_Details(:userId)";

And for the after case just repeat the before one again

  $sql = "select * from user";

and compare it with AfterDeleteUser.xml

see the logic is very simple if u have 5 Users in BeforeDeleteUser.xml and it results true and after the call of CALL Delete_User_Details(:userId) stored procedure , the AfterDeleteUser.xml should contain only 4 user (or maybe idDelete field to 0 that depends on ur implementation)
