ETL / Data Warehouse Testing

A business application is only as good as the data it contains!

With the increased adoption of Cloud and digital technologies, there is a greater need for ensuring data integrity post adoption of Big Data, Cloud, Data Warehouse and ETL / BI. Organizations that have embarked or planning on any Cloud Migration, Enterprise Data Warehouse implementations or any other digital transformation initiatives will have to address the following challenges:

  • Dealing with validation of complex transformations, millions of records, running into petabytes & exabytes of data, especially as full-volume testing and support of continuous integration mode
  • Need for analyzing and testing the deluge of data at the same blazing speed it’s getting generated
  • Maintaining accuracy and relevance of data and reliability from heterogeneous data sources in varied formats (Relational Databases, XML, CSV, PDF, XLS, AVRO, PARQUET, HDFS and more)

Automated Test Data Management

Test data is critical for any application to ensure proper validation of business functionality. Enterprises need to manage the complete test and development cycle of test data — not only focusing on provisioning and refreshing but also ensuring its security and ongoing governance. Agile development, DevOps, increasing data volume, Big Data, and growing regulatory pressure, demand an increasingly sophisticated test data platform. This is best achieved through efficient test data management.

At Hexaware, Test Data Management is a sub offering under Data Centric Testing. We bring in robust test data management practices from our enterprise-level test data support experience. The Test Data Engineering team comprising Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs), Database Administrators (DBAs), Data Analysts have helped customers solve their test data needs using commercial tools like IBM Optim, Genrocket, CA TDM, Infomatica and also many custom tools like self-service portal, data reservation portal, etc. All this is achieved through different approaches like using synthetic data, using a blend of synthetically replaced data & production data and virtualized test data.
