Abstract

Compiling test cases. The method may include uploading at least one extract, transform, load job (ETL job) and a plurality of test cases. The method may also include identifying a plurality of design features associated with the at least one uploaded ETL job. The method may further include identifying at least one feature change within the plurality of identified design features. The method may also include determining a plurality of related test cases within the plurality of uploaded test cases corresponding to the at least one identified feature change. The method may further include creating a test bucket based on a grouping of the determined plurality of related test cases. The method may also include adding at least one of a plurality of corresponding ETL jobs and a plurality of corresponding ETL job stages associated with the at least one identified feature change to the created test bucket.

Claims (14)

1. A processor-implemented method for compiling a plurality of test cases, the method comprising:

uploading, by a processor, at least one extract, transform, load job (ETL job) and a plurality of test cases;

identifying a plurality of design features associated with the at least one uploaded ETL job;

identifying at least one feature change within the plurality of identified design features;

determining a plurality of related test cases within the plurality of uploaded test cases corresponding to the at least one identified feature change;

creating a test bucket based on a grouping of the determined plurality of related test cases; and

adding at least one of a plurality of corresponding ETL jobs and a plurality of corresponding ETL job stages associated with the at least one identified feature change to the created test bucket.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of test cases corresponds to at least one of a plurality of products, a plurality of components, and a plurality of features.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing the created test bucket in a repository.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the at least one feature change within the plurality of identified features includes identifying at least one commonly used feature within the plurality of identified features that a user frequently uses.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one identified feature change within the plurality of identified design features includes each of the plurality of identified design features when the at least one uploaded ETL job is a first release.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying at least one feature change within the plurality of identified design features includes identifying the at least one feature change between a latest release of the at least one uploaded ETL job and any of a plurality of previous releases of the at least one uploaded ETL job.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying a plurality of design features associated with the at least one uploaded ETL job includes at least one of determining the at least one uploaded ETL job includes a custom stage, capturing a plurality of test data from the custom stage, and generating at least one test data case associated with the custom stage.
