Tosca Data Integrity

Tricentis Tosca Data Integrity (DI), formerly known as Tosca BI, is a software testing tool used to automate data integrity testing. It helps ensure that data is accurate, complete, and consistent throughout its lifecycle, from source systems to data warehouses and dashboards.

Here are some key features of Tosca Data Integrity:

• End-to-end data testing: Tosca DI can test data across all stages of its journey, from extraction to transformation to loading (ETL) and reporting.
• Model-based test automation: Tosca DI uses a model-driven approach to test automation, which means that tests are created based on a model of the data and its relationships. This makes it easier to create and maintain tests, and it also makes it possible to reuse tests across different data sets.
• Risk-based prioritization: Tosca DI can help you prioritize your data testing efforts by identifying the data that is most at risk of being inaccurate or incomplete.
• Actionable data quality reports: Tosca DI provides detailed reports on the quality of your data, which can help you identify and fix data quality issues.
• Business-friendly automation: Tosca DI is designed to be easy to use for business users, even if they don't have a technical background.
• DataOps/DevOps integration: Tosca DI can be integrated with DataOps and DevOps tools to automate data testing as part of your CI/CD pipeline.

Benefits of using Tosca Data Integrity:

• Improved data quality: Tosca DI can help you improve the quality of your data, which can lead to better decision-making, improved operational efficiency, and reduced costs.
• Reduced risk of errors: By automating data testing, you can reduce the risk of errors in your data, which can have a negative impact on your business.
• Faster time to market: Tosca DI can help you get your data-driven products and services to market faster by automating data testing.
• Increased agility: Tosca DI can help you be more agile in your data management by making it easier to test and change your data.
• If you're looking for a tool to help you ensure the quality of your data, Tosca Data Integrity is a great option.
