Agile Testing & BDD eXchange 2010: Andy Barker on Test Driven Data Warehouse Development
Test Driven Data Warehouse Development
In 2009, HML started on the implementation of a new business intelligence platform. In order to bring immediate business benefit the warehouse went
live with a very limited data set to support specific reporting requirements. This has required extensive re-factoring of the warehouse and associated ETL processes as new data sets have been added over time.
In order to support such development it was necessary to create a rigorous regression test suite from the outset. This is implemented using FitNesse/DbFit and is run as part of a continuous integration process.
This presentation will focus on our experiences of using FitNesse/DbFit: what has worked, and what has not. The presentation will include demonstrations
of various test pages, including fixtures we have developed for executing SSIS packages, and testing MDX queries.
