Start with nothing. Load something. That's an incremental load. Delete everything. Load the same stuff again. Validated that you have a consistent process. Then load the same stuff again (without deleting). Does the load process perform as designed (note: design could be to ignore duplicates, overwrite, or create errors)? Delete a few records. Load the same stuff again. Does the load process perform as designed? Delete everything. Use a utility to split the original test file into 3 parts. Load one part. Load another part. Does the load process perform as designed? Load the first part again. Does the load process perform as designed? Load the third part. Does the load process perform as designed?
Voila. You have tested incremental loading.
