Testing Methods & Tools for Data Extract and EDW Loading

Data Warehouses play a vital role in Big Data. Companies rely on Data Warehouses for collecting information on their business operations, markets, and client behavior to identify patterns, and collect the results to identify more business opportunities and operational improvements.

  • Typical Testing Methods -
    • The data in the data sources is validated directly in the Data Warehouse,
    • The data is validated from the data sources through each step of the extract, including the final load in the Data Warehouse
  • Testing Tools for Data Extract and EDW Loading
    • SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS),
    • Informatica PowerCenter,
    • OpenText Integration Centre,
    • Cognos Data Manager
