Target Database
Our Target base will be SQL Server 2008
We can get trial version
Try to download from the below:http://www.sqldbtools.com/Downloads.aspx?ProductId=2
Or
From Microsoft site

Target Database
Get the Target base connection details
We must know
Server Name
UserID
Password
Database Name

is successful
We can able to see the
Database and
Target Tables also

11

Source Database
We can install Toad or
PL SQL Developer Tool
these are GUI interface
and user friendly

Connecting to source

Common ETL Testing

Procedure

18

ETL Testing Process

Common Testing Procedure/Process: Following things should be in place before test case design /
Execution
Requirements
Source to Target Column mapping,
Selection criteria ( Business Rules ) in Transformation
mappings
Look up condition
Source and Target Database
Flow of ETL
19

ETL Informatica Testing

ETL Testing Scope general

Verify the data and server refresh is done as per Design

document
Verify the data is available for Customer On time
Verify the ETL workflow is successfully completed
Verify the Session Log file is created and check the
updated Date timestamp.
Verify the ETL datas control fields is populated in the
target table as per current ETL workflow

ROW_ADD_STP,

ROW_ADD_USER_ID,

ROW_UPDATE_STP,

ROW_UPDATE_USER_ID

20

ETL Informatica Testing

ETL Testing Procedure

Verify the row count of source and target table should be equal
Verify that the total row count in source and target row count
should be matched.
Verify the values of source column should be matched with
target value
Verify the Data Type & Size of each field existed in source
and Target Table as per Design Document
Verify the Data Integrity as per design document
Entity integrity
Referential integrity

21

ETL Informatica Testing

ETL Testing Procedure

verify that the any Transformation logic rules have been
implement between the Source to Target as per design
document
(i.e.) Aggregate

Sequence generator
Sorter
Router
Filter
Lookup

Work Flow monitor

Uses of Work flow monitor
Workflow monitor plays important role in the ETL Testing
To Check the whether ETL workflow is successfully
executed or failed
To verify the session log information
To Check the ETL run time for Date timestamp and Load
summary details for
Source and
Target Table data count

Suppose if the workflow is failed we can able figure out the

failed reason
34

Workflow Details
Information need to get the session log
Folder Name : PRESRC_KIT_TEST
Worklet Name : wl_daily_Bo_trg_kit_Master
session Log : s_m_stg_trn_sql_KIT_SALES_PLANT.log

35

ETL Informatica Testing

Workflow Details
Log File Checking
Check whether the
ETL Run
Timestamp and
Target table
Timestamp should
be matched
Source & Target
Table Count in
session load
summary
Check whether ETL
Workflow Session is
successfully
completed or failed

36

Time Stamp Validation

Session
Log and
Target
table
data
loading
timestam
p should
be
matched

37

ETL Informatica Testing

Record Count Validation

Target table Count is 663

Micros oft Excel

Works heet

Rules should be followed while taking

source count also
38

ETL Informatica Testing

Record Count Validation

Check whether the Target
Table count is should be
matched with the Source
count
Right now target count also
matching 663

39

ETL Informatica Testing

Data validation
As of now we had checked
Whether the ETL Work flow is succeeded or
failed
Log File Date time Stamp Verification
Session load summary details for source and
target table total no. record count
Source and Target table record count

40

ETL Informatica Testing

Data Type validation

Data type verification for both

Source and Target table

ETL Informatica Testing

Data type Verification

Compare the
Dataype details with
the ETL Mapping
document and
Target Table
Out Target Database
is SQL Server 2008
By using SP_HELP
