the method descibed above.

First idetify the source tables based on the design
specifcation for the report, then verify that the right
tables/schema are selected as source(s) of the report, then
comes the condition(business rules transformation rules
etc) check using join conditions. If tester is able to
write a complex query himself (in many cases it may not be
fasibel to have person with that level of sql expertise)
