Anyone here have advice on #etl #datawrangling #testing?

I have several ETL processes in SQL, mostly dealing with the "T", and I want to test them to validate that the transformations are happening as expected. Any good guides or advice on testing ETL?

I've thought about creating test input and output data and verifying the ETL results that way. I figure there has to be methods in place already for doing this kind of thing and I just don't know about it.

FTP is a friendly transfer protocol that just happens to also transfer files.

When an FTP client connects to an FTP server, they exchange pleasantries, then sit down with each other have rousing discussions about their lives.

Once they're caught up, the client takes the stack of books it was handed by the user and proceeds to have an hour-long discussion about their contents.

The user is later upset because they've discovered those books were actually ZIP archives that were transferred in ASCII mode.
