    The document lists 15 types of testing performed for ETL/DW testing: 1. Constraint testing verifies data mapping from source to target 2. Source to target count testing checks that record counts match between source and target 3. Source to target data validation testing examines each data point for accuracy 4. Threshold/data integrated testing analyzes data ranges and population calculations 5. Field to field testing checks data types and column ordering between source and target

    For ETL testing, the following tests must be performed either by Development folks or by
    the actual testers.
    The below given testing types are most essential for most of business sensitive ETL
    processes.
    1. Constraint Testing
    2. Source to Target Count Testing
    3. Source to Target Data Validation Testing
    4. Threshold/Data Integrated Testing
    5. Field to Field Testing
    6. Duplicate Check Testing
    7. Error/Exception Logical Testing
    8. Incremental and Historical Process Testing
    9. Control Columns and Defect Values Testing
    10. Navigation Testing
    11. Initialization testing
    12. Transformation Testing
    13. Regression Testing

    14. Retesting and


    15. System Integration Testing.
    1. Constraint Testing: This is sometimes called as source and target's definition
    testing. in this phase of constraint testing, the test engineers identifies whether the data
    is mapped from source to target or not. The Test Engineer follows the below scenarios in
    ETL Testing process.
    a) NOT NULL b) UNIQUE c) Primary Key d) Foreign key e) Check f) Default and g) NULL.
    These tests can be performed directly with the good grip on SQL.
    2. Source to Target Count Testing: In this testing type, we verify the Source to Target
    data is matched or not. A Test engineer can check in this view whether it is ascending
    order or descending order based on the requirement. Here tester concentrates more on
    the high level counts. Due to lack of time a tester can follow this type of Testing. This is
    a kind of smoke test in ETL processes.
    3. Source to Target Data Validation Testing: In Source to Target Data Validation
    Testing, a tester can validate the each and every point of the source to target data in
    depth. Most of the financial projects, a tester can identify the decimal factors. This is a
    kind of core testing with the intention to test the data quality
    4. Threshold/Data Integrated Testing: In this Testing, the Ranges of the data, A test
    Engineer can usually identifies the population calculation and share marketing and
    business finance analysis (quarterly, half-yearly, Yearly). This is a kind of boundary value
    analysis in regular website testing.
    MIN MAX RANGE
    4 10 6
    5. Field to Field Testing: In the this testing, a test engineer can identify that how
    much space is occupied in the database. The data is integrated in the table cum data
    types.
    NOTE: To check the order of the columns and source column to target column.
    6. Duplicate Check Testing: This is a crucial test type in ETL testing since the process
    deals with millions of records, they have to be extra careful when checking the duplicate
    records. In this phase of ETL Testing, a Tester can face duplicate value very frequently
    so, at that time the tester follows database queries why because huge amount of data is
    present in source and Target tables.
    Select ENO, ENAME, SAL, COUNT (*) FROM EMP GROUP BY ENO, ENAME, SAL HAVING
    COUNT (*) >1;
    Note:
    a) There are no mistakes in Primary Key or no Primary Key is allotted then the duplicates
    may arise.
    b) Sometimes, a developer can do mistakes while transferring the data from source to
    target at that time duplicates may arise.
    c) Due to Environment Mistakes also duplicates arise (Due to improper plugins in the
    tool).
    7. Error/Exception Logical Testing: This testing type can be devided into two types
    again.

    a. Delimiter is available in Valid Tables.


    b. Delimiter is not available in invalid tables(Exception Tables).
    8. Incremental and Historical Process Testing: In the Incremental data, the
    historical data is should not be corrupted with the increase in the new data. When the
    historical data is corrupted then this is the condition where bugs raise.
    9. Control Columns and Defect Values Testing: I'm not exactly sure about this
    testing. This was introduced by IBM for their ETL testing process.
    10. Navigation Testing: The Navigation Testing is the End user point of view testing.
    An end user is may not be technical expect to follow the friendlyness of the application.
    This navigation is called as bad or poor Navigation. So, while doing testing, A tester can
    identify this type of navigation scenarios to avoid unnecessary navigation.
    11. Initialization testing: A combination of hardware and software installed in platform
    is called the Initialization Testing. Its a kind of acceptance testing in web applications.
    12. Transformation Testing: While testing the mappings, verify what kind of mappings
    used and verify their functionality is being working fine or not.
    13. Regression Testing: Testing the system after code modification to fix a bug or to
    implement a new functionality which makes us to to find errors. Identifying for
    regression effect is called regression testing.
    14. Retesting: Re executing the failed test cases after fixing the bug is called Re
    testing. This is pretty much similar to the web application testing.
    15. System Integration Testing: We do this testing when all the functionality of
    individual pieces is over and combined all the modules together and performing the
    testing is called System Integration Testing (SIT). Developer can integrate the modules
    there are 3 models.
    a) Top Down
    b) Bottom Up
    c) Hybrid.
