Business Intelligence & Data Warehousing Testing

Data is the foundation for decision-making. But what if your dashboards are inaccurate, ETL processes fail, or reports display outdated information? With BI and DWH testing, you gain confidence in your data quality, ETL processes, and reporting. You can make decisions knowing your information is reliable.

From wrong KPIs to wrong decisions

If your data can’t be trusted

Your data may look complete, yet your reports don’t add up. A wrong total on your dashboard, inconsistent KPIs, or an ETL process that stops halfway—these aren’t minor technical issues. They’re signs that something is fundamentally broken in your data chain.

A single incorrect value can lead to flawed strategic choices. Compliance audits fail when figures can’t be reproduced. Management starts losing trust in data-driven decisions. Fixing these issues afterwards takes far more time than you expect.

The cause often goes deeper than technology alone. Data comes from multiple sources, transformations pile up, and business rules evolve. Without consistent testing, your BI landscape becomes opaque, and control slips away. It’s time to change that.

Testing the entire data chain

We test your complete BI and DWH environment: data quality at the source, ETL processes, data models, reports, and dashboards. No isolated checks, but a structured approach aligned with your architecture.

Whether you work with Kimball, Inmon, or Data Vault, on-premises or in the cloud (Azure Data Lake, Snowflake, Databricks), we validate data flows and transformations. We verify that business rules are correctly implemented and that reports reflect accurate, up-to-date data.

Testing is seamlessly integrated into your development process. With every change, you immediately know whether everything still holds up. No surprises, no debates about numbers. Your team can keep developing confidently, knowing the foundation is solid.

What we test in your BI environment

We test both technically and functionally so you can be sure that decisions are based on the right information.

Data quality

Eliminate errors before they spread. We check that source data is complete and correct. Duplicate records, empty fields and incorrect formats are intercepted before they can disrupt your entire data chain.

ETL processes

From extraction to flawless loading. We test complex transformations, business rules and aggregations to ensure that everything works as intended. What goes in, comes out right.

Data models

The right structure for your questions. Whether you use a star schema or slowly changing dimensions, we validate that your model performs as expected. No surprises when running complex queries.

Reports & Dashboards

Numbers you can rely on. KPIs must be correct, totals must add up and trends must make sense. We verify everything, even when data is processed in real time.

Historical data

Consistency over time. We test whether historical data remains reliable, even after changes to your model or business rules. Last year’s trends should still be valid, even if definitions have evolved.

Performance & scalability

Speed that scales. As your data volumes grow, queries must stay fast. We test how your environment performs under increasing loads and identify its true limits.

What BI testing delivers

With thoroughly tested BI and DWH environments, you make decisions based on reliable data. No more debates about numbers, no last-minute corrections before board reports.

Key benefits:

  • Reliable decisions. Management can trust dashboards because figures are consistently accurate.
  • Faster delivery. ETL errors surface immediately instead of at the end of the month.
  • Compliance Assurance. Audits succeed because data lineage and transformations are traceable.
  • Less rework. Early detection of data errors means no recalculations later.
  • Stable processes.Overnight ETL failures become a thing of the past.
  • Scalability. Your environment keeps pace with growing data volumes.

The value for your organization

BI testing turns data management from a risk into a foundation of certainty. Teams confidently add new sources knowing quality is safeguarded. Finance trusts automated reporting. IT focuses on innovation instead of fixes. The result: a truly data-driven organization.

FAQ

BI Testing FAQ

BI testing often raises the same questions. How do you test complex ETL processes? Which data quality controls are crucial? And what does it deliver in concrete terms? We've listed the most important questions and answers so you can quickly know where you stand.

What exactly is being tested in a BI environment?

We test your entire data chain: data quality at source, ETL processes, data models, reports and dashboards. This means that we verify that data is extracted, transformed and loaded correctly, that business rules have been implemented correctly, and that your reports show the correct numbers.

Do you work with all BI platforms?

Yes, we have experience with various architectures and platforms. Whether you're working with Kimball, Inmon, or Data Vault methodologies, or cloud solutions such as Azure Data Lake, Snowflake, and Databricks. We adapt our testing approach to your specific environment.

How long does a BI Test Assessment take?

A BI Test Assessment takes approximately two weeks. During that time, we review your data chain, identify risks and provide concrete areas for improvement. You get immediate insight into where you are and what can be improved.

Can you integrate tests into our development process?

Yes, that's exactly what we recommend. We integrate tests into your development process so that with every change it is immediately clear whether everything is still correct. This prevents surprises afterwards and ensures that your team can continue to develop with confidence.

What happens if you find errors?

We document all findings and provide concrete recommendations for recovery. We also teach your team where the risks lie and how to prevent them structurally so that similar problems do not occur in the future.

Do you also test the performance of our BI environment?

Yes, performance testing is part of our approach. We test whether your environment can cope with growing data volumes and identify where the limits lie. This way, you know whether your system is scaling with your growing data needs.

How do you ensure that historical data remains reliable?

We specifically test whether historical data remains consistent, even after changes in your model or business rules. Last year's trends must still be correct, even if definitions have been changed in the meantime. This is crucial for reliable comparisons over time.
