SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analytics teams often struggle with inconsistent testing practices across models, pipelines, and dashboards, leading to data quality issues and delayed deliveries. This Skill provides a structured reference of testing patterns aligned to the Analytics Development Lifecycle (ADLC), offering guidance to implement reliable tests at every stage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ADLC testing alignment guides for unit, data, integration, and performance tests.
  • Data quality frameworks, schema checks, and business logic verifications with practical examples.
  • End-to-end testing workflows, including dbt testing commands, CI/CD considerations, and QA readiness criteria.
  • Documentation and memory markers to capture testing decisions and lessons learned for future reuse.

Quick Start

Run the ADLC testing patterns on your dbt project and execute the recommended test suite.
