The Query based testing uses the query output as the test data and the before image of the query output is then compared with the output of an after image of the query output.
The actions that lead to the creation of both these images can vary based on the purpose of each scenario. KATE Validate currently supports one testing scenario with this type of testing. When the queries are executed using KATE Validate the cache is not used, the reason for this is to get as precise as possible, the runtime values for both the before and after image.
Recommendations:

- Select Query Variants
- Create the Before Image
- Performing some specific task in system outside KATE Validate (like archiving, migration, etc.)
- Create the After Image
- Compare Before and After Image
- Display of results
