Data Tester Pro

DATA MATTERS.
BUT ONLY OUR CONFIDENCE IN THEM DETERMINES THEIR VALUE.

Data can be trusted. Because data can be tested. Learn how to do it.

In this premium workshop, you will learn approaches, tools and frameworks that can be effectively used to test data in the Microsoft Data Platform environment (i.e. to test data in SQL Server, Azure SQL, Analysis Services or Power BI). You will practically try out what types of data tests can be used, what technologies, where and why to apply them, how to automate these tests and how to report the results clearly. And of course you will get an idea of how, where and why to use this in your home environment!

This workshop is one of our premium edition of BE A PRO (become a professional) workshops, where we emphasize the acquisition of advanced skills. The workshop is limited to a maximum of 15 participants, plus 2 experienced experts will be at your disposal throughout the day. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to discuss your challenges with other professionals.

PARTICIPANT ASSUMPTIONS

At Joyful Craftsmen, we are top experts in Microsoft data technologies, and this workshop is no exception. We assume that you are also familiar with technologies such as SQL Server, Azure SQL, Integration Services, Analysis Services or Power BI.

Although the approaches and concepts presented are generally applicable to most of today’s data technologies, if you yourself are familiar with the Microsoft Data Platform, you will get the most from the workshop.

This workshop is aimed at experts who, after all, already have (or at least have) some experience with data testing. So we won’t spend time explaining the very basics.

If you’d like to just brush up on the topic, we recommend our free half-day Data Testing Essentials workshop.

We are clearly focused on data and its testing, so any experience with data and using it in real life will definitely come in handy.

Please don’t expect us to be able to explain what a database, data model, or Power BI is. But don’t worry, if you’re interested in things like Power BI and data modeling, try our all-day Dashboard in a Day workshop, which is free.

For hands-on experience of the presented technologies, we have prepared so-called labs – virtual computers prepared for the workshop. You need to connect to them using the so-called Remote Desktop.

You need at least Windows Professional edition for this. And watch out! Especially corporate laptops have a lot of restrictions that can prevent you from connecting to Remote Desktop (through firewall settings, VPN, etc.).

Please check with your administrator that everything will be fine. Alternatively, let us know.
