Instance Details TestGen Results

Export data from DataKitchen's DataOps Data Quality TestGen to Observability so you can view test results as part of your data estate journeys.

Tip

Don't have TestGen? Try it out now.

Observe instances that include TestGen dataset components to better understand the health of your data as a holistic part of your processes, then drill down and analyze specific test metrics.

Prerequisites

From the instance details, select the Tests tab for an aggregated view of all the test results received during an instance. Click View test Results from TestGen to open details specific to TestGen.

Note

Select Show/Hide Columns to customize the Tests tab table. Add the columns Dimension and Table to best display TestGen results.

Test results from TestGen

At the top of the TestGen results you can find:

  • The test status ( Passed, Failed, has Warnings).
  • The test name.
  • A short description of the test and summary of test metrics, when available.
  • The data quality dimension.
  • A link to learn more about the test type.

Test results graph

The test results graph provides a visual of the test metric over time. The color of the data points represents the test status and the trend lines change over time as you make adjustments to your test thresholds.

If you're viewing historical results, click See most recent points to navigate to current data for the metric.

Test data

Observability displays the following test metadata when sent with the test outcomes:

  • The metric name and description.
  • Schema, database, connection, table, and column identifiers.
  • The test suite name.

Test parameters

The Test Parameters section shows metrics, thresholds, baseline values, counts, or other data specific to the test.

Events tab consideration

On the Events tab of the instance details and the All Events tab of the Events page you may see multiple, sequential Test Outcomes events from the dataset component associated with TestGen.

When you send data from TestGen to Observability, the export-observability command exports all the results generated since the last time the command was run. To comply with the Observability Event Ingestion API payload limit of 100 KB and the Test Outcomes event 500 item limit, the events sent from TestGen adhere to a payload limit of up to 100 KB and 500 items per event.

Note that the Tests tab of the instance details will still display the complete list of tests from all events received during an instance, regardless of how the test events are divided.

Tip

Export events from TestGen to Observability regularly to keep events relative in size and scope to the work you're doing.
