API Automation and TDD to Implement Master Data Survivorship Rules
Download as PPTX, PDF2 likes575 views
The document discusses implementing and testing data survivorship rules (DSRs) for master data using API automation and test-driven development (TDD). It notes the challenges of testing the complex scenarios involving DSRs across different fields, field types, and data operations. The solution involved creating a testing matrix and using the ReadyAPI tool to drive development and prevent defects through an automated test-first approach. This allowed the DSR project to be completed in the shortest sprint yet with no functional issues reported after release.

- 4. Data Integrity Challenges “Our data is neither standardized nor rationalized.” “Our data is slowing down the business… it’s inaccurate, inconsistent, incomplete.” “It’s too difficult to find the right information with all these duplicate records.” “We don’t have the resources to deal with data governance.” “It is hard to keep up with data audits across systems.” “There are too many systems to track all the changes.” “Our data is distributed across the organization and resides in silos.”
- 5. “The growing complexity of digital business drives an assumption that data should be collected centrally or connected in a distributed fashion. Current data and analytics strategies are falling short of business requirements, thus organizations need to look into alternative approaches such as a data hub.” Source: Gartner, “Use a Data Hub Strategy to Meet Your Data and Analytics Governance and Sharing Requirements”, A.

- 7. Master Data Hub • Managing ~30 million Golden Records • Processes ~3.5 million Golden Records Per Day • Serves businesses in multiple countries in multiple continents • 100’s of thousands of records cleansed; thousands of duplicates removed • With SLA of 99.99% availability for our Clouds
- 8. Data Survivorship Rule (DSR) implementation • Lets you select and define your most trusted source of data per field • Applies to all different data types and field types such as references, collections, groups and operations such as create, update, delete, link, resolve data for the reference fields • Creates a trusted relationship with the source • Filters unwanted data coming into the system and reduces further processing workload and time • Sends out highly trusted field records to synchronize with other systems
- 9. DSR Testing Challenges • 100’s of unique scenarios to test • Complex test scenarios involving multiple fields, field types and sources • Support multiple operations such as create/update/delete/link/resolve • Impact on Performance • Impact on existing application and regression
