Dataform Unit Tests
Why Dataform Unit Tests?
All software engineering practices rely on unit testing as a core part of their software development cycle, and this is no different for data engineering. Use Dataform Unit Tests to fill that void when creating data models with Dataform.
What's the issue?
Dataform is a powerful transformation tool used by Data Engineers by businesses all over the world to easily model their raw business data into usable, consumable data for dashboards, CRM software, ML model training and more. However, unit testing is a critical feature not yet available off-the-shelf.
This leaves a hole in your data model development as you are releasing untested models into production and hoping that your model covers all the use cases you can think of.
Dataform Unit Tests takes the guess work out of this by letting you define which types of data your model should handle and validates your Dataform model in isolation, pre-production.
