Still not sure what you want to automate. Do you want some program to run a
loop and add records to your database over and over to see if it can handle
the load? Do you want to fill it with data and then run queries to test
response time? Do you want to compare calculations from your database
reports to see if they are correct?

I know there are comercial applications out there (search for "rational
robot") that allow you to built scripts to do automated testing. This would
be most useful if you were going to test similar reflexes over and over. We
use it to test some items each year when we release new software.

I guess you could write some macros, or import data from an external
source. Lots of ways to "automate testing" but not sure what specifically
you want to accomplish and where you are trying to save the time and effort.
