### 4.5 PL/SQL Unit Tester

This tool allows you to run procedures, functions, and package members independently. Selecting proper PL/SQL unit will result in anonymous PL/SQL block containing given unit and an environment with setting variables and required outputs with unit results (via DBMS_OUTPUT).

Automatically created code blocks can be modified by user.

What is the Unit Test Script? The anonymous PL/SQL block with the following structure:

         DECLARE
             -- declarations of IN/OUT parameters
             foo number;
             bar varchar2(22);
         BEGIN
             -- definitions of parameters
             foo := 1;
             bar := 2;
             -- calling requested unit
             MYOWN.COOLPACKAGE.FOOBAR(
                 foo => foo,
                 bar => bar
                 );
             -- printing of the results
             sys.dbms_output.put_line('foo: ' || foo);
             sys.dbms_output.put_line('bar: ' || bar);
         END;

It can handle only basic data types currently. No PLSQLdata (record of etc.) supported yet.
