Test automation, one of several key technical enablement practices, allows teams to be more successful in their agile journeys. Although there are lots of test practices and automation tools available for software development teams to leverage, few are targeted to data-related development and testing. This lack of data-centric testing tools leaves Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence teams thinking they can't possibly automate their tests. Why is test automation important to agile data teams? Why aren’t they automating their tests today? What is the path to test automation? Cher answers these questions, bringing the concepts to life using small-group exercises and a short demo of how it works. Leave knowing that a lack of vendor-supported tools is NOT the issue, and that if you roll up your sleeves and develop good testing practices and procedures, you can easily start automating those practices and procedures using the tools and development languages that you already use.
