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:

Validation Checklist

1. Pre-deployment Checklist

2. Production Validation

3. Regression Testing
