Abstract
In association with unit and integration testing of a software application, a test conflict guard can detect whether test cases are independent and use distinct database data, or are related or dependent test cases that use the same database data. The test conflict guard can detect any related or dependent test cases in a group of test cases, which may cause testing errors if executed in different parallel threads. The test conflict guard can accordingly block test execution until the group of test cases are verified as independent test cases.
