Testing & Validation
Overview
This section covers comprehensive testing and validation strategies for the automated ingestion and schema mapping pipeline. We'll test each component individually and the entire end-to-end workflow.
Testing Strategy
1. Unit Testing
Test individual components in isolation:
Schema extraction functions
Chicory agent responses
dbt model generation
File processing logic
2. Integration Testing
Test component interactions:
Airflow → GitHub Actions flow
GitHub Actions → Chicory agents
Chicory agents → dbt generation
Complete pipeline execution
3. End-to-End Testing
Validate the entire workflow from CSV upload to dbt model deployment.
Unit Testing
1. Schema Extraction Testing
Create tests/test_schema_extraction.py:
2. Mapping Validation Testing
Create tests/test_mapping_validation.py:
3. dbt Generation Testing
Create tests/test_dbt_generation.py:
Integration Testing
1. Airflow DAG Testing
Create tests/test_airflow_dag.py:
2. GitHub Actions Testing
Create tests/test_github_actions.py:
End-to-End Testing
1. Full Pipeline Test
Create tests/test_end_to_end.py:
Performance Testing
1. Load Testing
Create tests/test_performance.py:
Test Automation
1. Test Runner Script
Create tests/run_tests.py:
2. CI/CD Integration
Create .github/workflows/test.yml:
