Getting data testing right is a moving target. Codebases grow in complexity over time, code diffs just don’t show the impact, and there are too many “unknown unknowns” that can’t be accounted for in custom tests.
With workflows that make sense, checklists against errors, and an automated data quality system orchestrating everything, sit back and watch your developer velocity increase without sacrificing data quality:
A proactive data quality strategy is governed by 3 key principles:
1. Shifting data testing to the left: Test early and often during the development cycle.
