In a survey of potential
customers we asked:

What are
your top
DWH testing
challenges?
They need to automate the testing effort
Their Top 6 Responses
They need to speed up the testing cycle
built by
They need to be able to schedule test runs
They need to be able to test across different
platforms
They need to share test results with their group
They need to verify more data than they currently do
(typically <10%)
automates the testing effort
the kickoff, the tests, the comparison, emailing the results
speeds up testing
up to 1,000 times faster than manual testing
schedules test runs
run now, every Tuesday at 11pm or right after ETL process
tests across different platforms
any JDBC-compliant database, DWH, D-Mart, flat file, XML
views & shares results
through automated emailing of reports
the QuerySurge solution
verifies more data
verifies upwards of 100% of all data

QuerySurge Value-Add
QuerySurge provides value by either:

in testing data coverage from < 10% to
upwards of 100%
in testing time by as much as 1,000 x
combination of in test coverage while in
testing time

Return on Investment (ROI)
redeployment of head count by 75% because of an
increase in coverage
a savings over manual testing (minus queries, manual
compares, other)
an increase in better data due to shorter / more thorough
testing cycle, saving $millions by preventing key decisions
made on bad data.
