The Acutest BIG Data Testing proposition is centred around the increasing importance of data-enabled solutions for organizations. Our approach has evolved from our understanding of data-driven solutions, and our experience testing them for client’s. Acutest has developed a fully integrated approach to QA for data-enriched solutions, which allows full support of Dev-Ops delivery, across Medallion architectures and across big data sets. Our optimised approach allows rapid development and sustained delivery value of to the organisation, whilst giving transparency over functional tolerances and thus increased confidence.
The Acutest approach for BIG data solutions requires a paradigm shift from traditional methodologies due to scale, distribution, and complexity. Key features include:
Validate input, transformations, and output across pipelines using checksum validation and data reconciliation techniques
Simulate node failures, network partitions, and data corruption to ensure system robustness
Deploy distributed logging, metrics collection, and anomaly detection for real-time insights
Continuously monitor data consistency, missing values, and statistical anomalies
Utilizes Behave, Python, Pandas, PySpark, Databricks, and Azure for scalable and efficient testing
Utilizes our Acutest Principles to facilitate optimized test selection
Enables participation of data analyst SMEs without complex coding skills
In a world where data drives decisions, Acutest stands apart with a bold, integrated approach to quality assurance for data-enriched solutions.
Our BIG Data Proposition is designed to meet the scale, complexity, and velocity of modern data systems delivering confidence, speed, and measurable impact. You can expect a collaborative and insight-driven experience, tailored to meet the evolving demands of data-enabled organisations.
Acutest’s teams fully integrate with your delivery teams, and key stakeholders to address identify and mitigate key delivery risks and challenges, whilst leveraging your toolsets to ensure end-to-end data validation, resilience testing, and observability across complex often distributed, data pipelines.
Talk to your Account Manager or book a scoping call to find out how Acutest can help you address the specific challenges of BIG data testing.
