Agile testing software for Data Warehouse And BI projects

  • SMART-CIT is a suite of automated, Continuous Integration Testing software specifically designed for Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence projects.
  • SMART-CIT automates the testing of complex, data-related system builds, covering Unit, System, UAT and Integration testing for these data-oriented projects.
  • SMART-CIT builds a repository of tests that ensure every new developed component is tested in and of itself, and tested in relation to every other component up and downstream, ensuring the new component does not break anything else in the system.
  • SMART-CIT represents a new generation of intelligent testing software – for each new component developed, every other related component in the repository is automatically detected and only those related tests are executed – unnecessary tests dont need to be run saving huge amounts of time, cost and processing power.
  • SMART-CIT saves time, reduces risk and produces auditable, fully documented test results stored in one central location
  • The SMART-CIT system uses visible red, green and amber lights to easily visualise results for all to see, both physical (ie on location) and web based (for remote users). This light shows everyone the current status of Continuous Integration Testing.

HOW SMART-CIT WORKS

  • SMART testing allows you to automatically and efficiently perform the equivalent of a FULL UAT every time anything is changed, no matter how minor
  • SMART testing tests CHANGE, and so avoids uncontrollable increases in complexity as the system grows
  • SMART testing can be used in Agile projects, and equally well in SDLC projects
Simple SQL only
A core skill for all data warehouse developers
Meaningful Useful
Relevant
Automated Let the database do the hard work
Take advantage of existing change control mechanisms
Repeatable All the tests are stored permanently
Knowledge is condensed into a single file
Targeted Use sophisticated lineage to only do what’s necessary

SMART-CIT INTEGRATION WITH WHERESCAPE RED

SMART-CIT integrates seamlessly with WhereScape RED – automatically synchronising with the RED metadata repository to ensure that every object built is immediately available in SMART-CIT for testing.
