What free automation tools exist for Data Migrations between Old and New Systems?

What approaches should I use to ensure data was migrated correctly ?

I'm a beginner Tester in web applications, E-Learning System.

  • Define "best". Cheapest? Best for integration ? Runs on Windows ? please post some requirements. Like which systems / databases. There is no generic solution, just specific ones depending on platforms. – Michael Durrant Jun 03 '17 at 10:24
  • Also consider asking for 'good' instead of 'best'. We're moving towards 'good practices' over 'best practices' in the industry and I believe this applies to tools too. – Michael Durrant Jun 03 '17 at 10:26

  • What is "El-learning systems web application" ? Please give more details. – Michael Durrant Jun 03 '17 at 10:37
  • You'll need examples of data from the old system and examples of what it should look like when converted to the new system. Mainly you should be sitting down in meetings with the developer or dev team and figure out together what the requirements really are. Otherwise you will spend a lot of time coming up with a solution only to find out you've solved the wrong problems and not the right ones. – Michael Durrant Jun 03 '17 at 10:39
  • If you are a beginner are you seeking this knowledge for general education? Performing Quality Assurance on Data Loading with Automated Tests is not solved with one "question and answer on Stack Exchange". You'll need to read a book. Or two. – Michael Durrant Jun 03 '17 at 10:42
