ADVANCE ETL TESTING (Duration: 45 hrs.) ETL Testing is done to ensure that the data has been loaded from a source or from multiple sources to the destination after business transformation is accurate and successful. It also involves the verification of data followed by Data Completeness Test and Data Quality Test at various stages that used between source and destination • Data Warehousing Concepts with complete E2E architecture. (5hrs approx) • ETL Testing on various types Sources, Targets, Mappings, different Transformation, Workflows, Task with complete ETL testing life cycle. • ETL Testing Life cycle, All 8 types of strategy with multiple examples. • Challenges in DWH ETL Testing compare to other testing • Difference between DB and DWH. Different schemas of DWH, Functional Testing based on various transformations. • Testing on each phase of Informatica Workflow Manager –Special ETL testing sessions (Based on real-time Scenarios and Workflows, Recovery, Error Handling and more on practicals). • Running jobs by Informatica and doing RCA for failed jobs w.r.t DB. • SCD1, SCD2, SCD3– Testing on each phase with the correct project example. • Basic and complex SQL commands required for data validation based on actual mapping. • Manual Testing concepts - Smoke, Sanity, Regression, retest etc. with the help of Agile model. • Test case and defect management toll like HP ALM, JIRA with the steps etc. • Writing test cases and test scripts based on Mapping doc, BRD and TSD. • Real time projects, scenarios discussion and E2E architecture Analysis on each type of transformation. • Unix commands used for File handling and other functioning in ETL Testing (3 hrs.) • Study material will be provided for DWH basics, complete ETL transformations, Informatica Power center (with practical steps), Queries with scenarios and Unix commands used. • Real time Test Strategy, Test cases and mapping sheet and BRD will be shown in Live project. Step by step description will be provided to students. • A set of mock interview question will be provided and discussed, which were prepared from our older student’s interviews, which they attended in previous interviews. • Assistance to get interviews and Resume preparation, posting on Job sites with correct Job agents, will refer for outside jobs. Once candidate gets job and need support for initial days also provided.
