Descrip­tion


Data without trust is worth­less. This webinar shows how struc­tured test­ing trans­forms chaotic data ware­house pro­jects into reli­able, busi­ness-ready solu­tions. Dis­cover why test­ing must start before a single line of code, what makes DWH test­ing uniquely chal­len­ging, and how a solid test strategy ensures qual­ity, sta­bil­ity, and com­pli­ance. From tack­ling data drift and com­plex ETL pro­cesses to build­ing con­fid­ence across IT and busi­ness, you’ll learn how struc­tured test­ing saves time, money, and repu­ta­tion. Join to gain prac­tical insights that will sharpen your test approach and strengthen data-driven decisions.

Agenda


Wel­come and Introduction

Why struc­tured test­ing mat­ters in data warehousing

  • Test­ing as a found­a­tion for trust, qual­ity, and compliance
  • Avoid­ing costly data errors and broken reporting
Test­ing basics: from errors to root causes

  • Dif­fer­ence between errors, defects, and failures
  • Root cause ana­lysis for long-term stability
Require­ments first: test­ing starts before coding

  • Import­ance of clear, test­able requirements
  • Pre­vent­ing down­stream defects early
Spe­cial chal­lenges in DWH testing

  • Hand­ling data drift and grow­ing data volumes
  • Man­aging com­plex ETL pipelines
  • Detect­ing “silent fail­ures” and hid­den inconsistencies
Ele­ments of an effect­ive DWH test strategy

  • Risk-based plan­ning and prioritization
  • Stand­ard­iz­a­tion, com­pli­ance, and documentation
  • Ensur­ing sta­bil­ity with regres­sion and audit-proof testing
Test levels explained

  • Unit test­ing: val­id­at­ing tables and transformations
  • Integ­ra­tion test­ing: ensur­ing con­sist­ency across pipelines
  • Sys­tem test­ing: end-to-end per­form­ance and reliability
  • User accept­ance: val­id­at­ing busi­ness rules and trust
