The 6 pillars of data engineering needed for a 360-degree view of your business

Countless organizations have completed a digital transformation within the past handful of years, but this has led to many of them pulling in more raw data than they know what to do with.

This is a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless.

Business leaders know that data is one of the most valuable resources an organization can have. But in order to leverage that data, you need the proper architecture, tools, and processes to make it usable for analytics purposes and to identify actionable insights that drive business value.

That’s where the six pillars of data engineering come into play.

This article will focus on the six pillars of data engineering that are needed to leverage your organization’s data effectively, as well as some of the tools that can help you in your data endeavors.

With these pillars firmly in place, you’ll be able to transform that data into a crystal clear picture of what can be improved within your organization and what opportunities can be taken advantage of to gain a competitive advantage.

1. Data Ingestion

It’s likely your business has a multitude of data streams that originate from different sources — from databases, applications, and IoT devices, for example. Before you can analyze that data and obtain actionable insights for your business, you need a way of gathering all that data in one place.

It needs to be ingested.

Data ingestion is the process of transporting data from those sources to a unified environment, such as a cloud data lake.

But more needs to be done . . .

Tools: Apache Kafka/PyKafka, AWS Kinesis/Kinesis Data Streams/Kinesis Firehose, Spark Streaming, RabbitMQ, Google PubSub, Azure Data Bricks

2. Data Integration

Once the data is transported to a unified environment, data integration takes it a step further.

Data integration ensures that all data that was ingested is compatible with each other in order to be used for downstream applications or analytics.

There are different approaches when it comes to data integration, and they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

One approach, ETL (extract, transform, load), is the more traditional one and is ideal when security, quality, and compliance are concerns.

ELT (extract, load, transform) has become an increasingly popular method of data integration with the adoption of cloud and agile methodologies. This approach is best suited for large volumes of unstructured data.

But there’s also another integration method, which is a hybrid of the two: ETLT (extract, transform, load, transform). This method aims to get the best of both worlds of ETL and ELT.

Tools: Spark – PySpark, Flink – PyFlink, AWS Glue, Apache Beam, GCP Data Flow, Apache Hive, Azure Data Factory

3. Data Modeling

The third pillar of data engineering is data modeling. It’s essentially a way to visualize the data that was pulled so that it’s easier to see the relationships between data sources and how data flows between those sources.

Data modeling is integral to fully understand your data and to support your business’s analytical needs.

Tools: Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, Google Cloud BigQuery, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Cosmos DB, MongoDB

4. Data Observability

Data observability provides users with visibility into the health and state of data. It can detect situations your team wasn’t aware of or even thought to plan for. With data observability, data teams can be alerted in real time in order to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve data issues, such as schema drift and duplicate values, before they have time to impact the business.

As different departments within an organization often need to make decisions based on the same data, it’s imperative that the data is accurate and reliable in order to inform those decisions and prevent costly errors and downtime.

Tools: AWS Wrangler, AWS Glue Databrew, Apache Airflow, Apache Sqoop

5. DataOps

The rise of Big Data has necessitated yet another Ops in addition to DevOps: DataOps.

Emphasizing collaboration, DataOps is an agile-based method that bridges the gaps between data engineers, data scientists, and other stakeholders within the organization who rely on data. It brings together the tools, people, processes, and the data itself.

What DevOps did for software development is what DataOps is doing for organizations that want to be truly data driven.

The end goal of DataOps is to streamline the creation and maintenance of data pipelines, ensure the quality of that data for the applications that depend on it, and to create the most business value from that data.

Tools: AWS Wrangler, AWS Glue Databrew, Apache Airflow, Apache Sqoop

6. Data Delivery

We’ve reached the final pillar of data engineering — and the final output of a data pipeline. This is the “connect between data pipeline and data analytics.  Data delivery is where data pipelines meet data analytics. This pillar entails making the data available in specific ways so that the data can be consumed by downstream systems. Once the data is made available, it can be consumed and used for the three types of analytics that drive decision-making: descriptive (what’s happened), predictive (what could happen), and prescriptive analytics (what should happen).

Tools: Amazon Quicksight, Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, Graffana, Plotly, Matplotlib

Conclusion

With organizations across every industry becoming data driven and it becoming increasingly difficult to build and maintain data pipelines, it’s important to implement automated processes and tools that can make that data usable and more valuable.

Data Validation Testing

At a recent TDWI virtual summit on “Data Integration and Data Quality”, I attended a session titled “Continuous Data Validation: Five Best Practices” by Andrew Cardno.

In this session, Andrew Cardno, one of the adjunct faculty at TDWI talked about the importance of validating data from the whole to the part, which means that the metrics or total should be validated before reconciling the detailed data or drill-downs. For example, revenue totals by product type should be the same in Finance, CRM, and Reporting systems.

Attending this talk reminded me of a Data Warehouse project I worked on at one of the federal agencies. The source system was a Case Management system with a Data Warehouse for reporting. We noticed that one of the key metrics “Number of Cases by Case Type” yielded different results when queried on the source database, the data warehouse, and the reports. Such discrepancies undermine the trust in the reports and the underlying data. The reason for the mismatch can be an unwanted filter or wrong join or error during the ETL process.

When it comes to the federal agency this report is sent to congress and they have a congressional mandate to ensure that the numbers are correct. For other industries such as Healthcare and Financial, compliance requirements require the data to be consistent across multiple systems in the enterprise. It is essential to reconcile the metrics and the underlying data across various systems in the enterprise.

Andrew talks about two primary methods for performing Data Validation testing techniques to help instill trust in the data and analytics.

Glassbox Data Validation Testing

Blackbox Data Validation Testing

I will go over these Data Validation testing techniques in more detail below and explain how the Datagaps DataOps suite can help automate Data Validation testing.

Schmarzo’s Big, Hairy, Audacious Data Analytics Predictions for 2020

Ah, it’s that time of year when everyone is making predictions about next year and extrapolating from the previous year’s trends to create logical, pragmatic predictions. I’ve already made my own predictions for 2020 in the article, “AI, Analytics, Machine Learning, Data Science, Deep Learning Technology Main Developments in 2019 and Key Trends for 2020,”where I predicted the following

Main 2019 Developments:

Growing "consumer proof points" with respect to AI integration into our everyday lives via smart phones, web sites, home devices and vehicles.

Formalization of DataOps category as an acknowledgment of the growing importance of the Data Engineering role.

Growing respect for the business potential of data science within the executive suite.

CIOs continue to struggle to deliver on the data monetization promise; Data Lake disillusionment leading to Data Lake "second surgeries."

Key 2020 Trends:

More real-world examples of industrial companies leveraging sensors, edge analytics and AI to create products that get more intelligent through usage; they appreciate, not depreciate, in value with usage.

Grandiose smart spaces projects continue to struggle to grow beyond initial pilots due to inability to deliver reasonable financial or operational impact.

Recession will drive chasm between "Have's" and "Have Not's" with respect to organizations that leverage data and analytics to drive meaningful business results.

But let’s have some fun with these 2020 predictions that are at the very edge of logical and pragmatic while offering a buzzkill perspective. We’ll create a new category of predictions: Big, Hairy, Audacious Predictions or BHAPs (a takeoff on Jim Collin’s famous BHAG writings) and sprinkle in some quotes from one of America’s most famous philosophers – Yogi Berra – to spice up the BHAPs! And I’ll even leave a place at the end for you to create your own 2020 BHAP because as Yogi Berra said, “The game isn't over until it's over”.

Schmarzo’s BHAPs

BHAP #1: Blockchain fuels definitive source of truth. Deep fakes that influence elections worldwide and lead to front-page grabbing headlines necessitates government’s dictating Blockchain as the only definitive and validated source of truth. Technology advances such as 5G and quantum computing underpin Blockchain’s capabilities. BHAP Buzzkill #1: Unfortunately, the government, driven by special interest groups, screws up the Blockchain definition (for fear of losing their ability to spy on their own citizens) and the potential of Blockchain to provide a definitive source of truth implodes on itself like a dying blackhole.

“I never said most of the things I said.” – Yogi Berra

BHAP #2: AI-driven autonomous entities become mainstream. Yes, Elon Musk is right in that one can create assets – vehicles, trains, compressors, turbines, etc. – that appreciate, not depreciate, in value the more that they are used. The more these assets are used, the more observations they collect and the smarter (and more valuable) they become. BHAP Buzzkill #2: Unfortunately, the AI function around which AI success is defined is so poorly defined by senior management consultants, that these assets end up becoming lazy, ineffective and finally unionize.

“90% of the game is half mental.” – Yogi Berra

BHAP #3:  AI transforms the Data Management landscape. Data engineering is the biggest hindrance to leverage data science to derive and drive new sources of customer, product and operational value. In an effort to alleviate these pains, DataOps providers add Machine Learning automation to underpin and automate many data engineering tasks. BHAP Buzzkill #2: Unfortunately, Data Engineers quickly realize that these efforts threaten their job security and sabotage the Machine Learning algorithms in a way that actually increases the demand in data engineers. Data Scientists consequently end up working on research papers in hopes of landing tenure at local, prestigious university.

“'It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future'” – Yogi Berra

BHAP #4: Co-creation becomes the only differentiated and sustainable business model.  Co-creation occurs when two organizations from different but complementary backgrounds collaborate to create a solution that benefits both. Co-creation between technology and commercial companies become a fundamental business model in identifying, codifying and operationalizing new sources customer, product and operational value. BHAP Buzzkill #4: Unfortunately, greed will raise its ugly head and passive aggressive behaviors will emerge from those who aren’t so enthusiastic in sharing credit, or the cover of Fortune Magazine, for their success with others.

“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.” – Yogi Berra

BHAP #5:  AI success driven by grass root efforts, not management mandates. AI success will gain roots in companies where the rank-and-file, not senior management, are the driving factors. The rank-and-file will see the opportunity to liberate themselves from their daily drudgery by empowering AI devices that free them up for more value-added and creative work.

BHAP Buzzkill #5: Unfortunately, the rank-and-file try to push the AI initiative too far and AI actually replaces senior management. But the boring meetings that senior management is forced to endure drives the AI devices crazy, leading to them to self-destruct.

“I usually take a two-hour nap from 1 to 4.” – Yogi Berra

BHAP #6: Transition of SME tribal knowledge to AI algorithms fuels the next industrial renaissance. With millions of subject matter experts retiring across all industries with the resulting loss of the tribal knowledge necessary to keep operational running smoothly, organizations seek to capture, validate, codify (in AI algorithms) and operationalize this tribal knowledge, turning every Subject Matter Expert (engineer, technician, physician, nurse, teacher, lawyer, accountant) into the best Subject Matter Expert. BHAP Buzzkill #6: Unfortunately, the lack of health care in retirement forces many SME’s to unretire and put the AI algorithms out of work instead.

“You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.” – Yogi Berra

BHAP #7:  GAAP introduces new financial rules for defining the financial value of data. The Accounting industry finally realizes the traditional accounting principles don’t work to define the value of big data and embrace economic principles to define the value of assets that never deplete, never wear out and can be used across an unlimited number of use cases. “Value in Use” wins out over “Value in Exchanges.” BHAP Buzzkill #7: Unfortunately, the value of data accounting principles is so complicated, that it takes an army of accountants to accurately make the value determination. The new law becomes known as the “Accountant Full-time Employment Act”.

“If the world was perfect, it wouldn’t be.” – Yogi Berra

BHAP #8:  Economics becomes Sexiest Job. As Gen Z starts to realize the unique characteristics of assets – like data and analytics – that appreciate, not depreciate, in value through usage and the associated collective learning, Economist replies Data Scientist as the Sexiest Job of the 21st Century. The “Economies of Learning” are truly more powerful than the “Economies of Scale” in knowledge-based industries. BHAP Buzzkill #8: Unfortunately, there graduates soon learn that companies pay for actual work, and most of these economics majors take jobs as coffee baristas (the modern bartender gig).

“It's like Deja vu all over again.” – Yogi Berra

BHAP #9: William Schmarzo wins the Economics Nobel Prize.  After his ground-breaking research paper on the Economic Value of Data at the University of San Francisco, followed up with this industry-leading perspective on "Schmarzo Digital Asset Valuation Theorem," the Nobel Prize committee has no choice but to award William Schmarzo the Nobel Prize in economics. BHAP Buzzkill #9: Unfortunately, the award is made posthumously…

Going ahead, we’ll explore automation of Tableau reports validation and how it is done.

Importance of Automating Tableau Reports Validation

Automating Tableau report validation provides several benefits, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and reliability in BI reporting.

Automating the reports validation reduces the time and effort, which allows analysts to focus on insights rather than troubleshooting the errors

Automation prevents data discrepancies and ensures all reports are pulling in consistent data

Many Organizations deal with high volumes of reports and dashboards. It is difficult to manually validate each report. Automating the reports validation becomes critical to maintain efficiency.

Organizations update their Tableau dashboards very frequently, sometimes daily. On automating the reports validation process, a direct comparison is made between the previous and current data to detect changes or discrepancies. This ensures metrics remain consistent after each data refresh.

BI Validator simplifies BI testing by providing a platform for automated BI report testing. It enables seamless regression, stress, and performance testing, making the process faster and more reliable.

Tableau reports to Database data comparison ensures that the records from the source data are reflected accurately in the visuals of Tableau reports.

This validation process extracts data from Tableau report visuals and compares it with SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, or other databases. Datagaps DataOps Suite BI Validator streamlines this by pulling report data, applying transformations, and verifying consistency through automated row-by-row and aggregate comparisons (e.g., counts, sums, averages).

The errors detected usually identify missing, duplicate or mismatched records.

Automation ensures these issues are caught early, reducing manual effort and improving trust in reporting.

Tableau Regression

In the DataOps suite, Regression testing is done by comparing the benchmarked version of tableau report with the live version of the report through Tableau Regression component.

This Tableau regression component can be very useful for automating the testing of Tableau reports or Dashboards during in-place upgrades or changes.

Tableau Upgrade

Tableau Upgrade Component in BI validator helps in automated report testing by comparing the same or different reports of same or different Tableau sources.

The comparison is done in the same manner as regression testing where the differences between the reports can be pointed out both in terms of text as well as appearance.

Generate BI DataFlows is a handy and convenient feature provided by Datagaps DataOps suite to generate multiple dataflows at once for Business Intelligence components like Tableau.

Generate BI DataFlows feature is beneficial in migration scenarios as it enables efficient data comparison between the original and migrated platforms and supports the validations like BI source, Regression and Upgrade. By generating multiple dataflows based on selected reports, users can quickly detect discrepancies or inconsistencies that may arise during the migration process, ensuring data integrity and accuracy while minimizing potential errors. Furthermore, when dealing with a large volume of reports, this feature speeds up the validation process, minimizes manual effort, and improves overall efficiency in detecting and resolving inconsistencies.

As seen from the image, the wizard starts by generating the Dataflow details. The connection details like the engine, validation type, Source-Data Source and Target-Data Source are to be provided by users.

Note: BI source validation and Regression validation types do not prompt for Target-Data source

Let’s take a closer look at the steps involved in “Generate BI Dataflows”

Reports

The Reports section prompts users to select pages from the required reports in the validation process. For Data Compare validation and Upgrade Validation, both source and target pages will be required. For other cases, only the source page will be needed.

Here is a sample screenshot of the extraction of source and target pages from the source and target report respectively

Visual Mapping and Column Mapping (only in Data Compare Validation)

The "Visual Mapping" section allows users to load and compare source and target pages and then establish connections between corresponding tables.

It consists of three sections namely Source Page, Target Page, and Mapping.

In the source page and target page, respective Tableau worksheets are loaded and on selecting the worksheets option, users can preview the data.

After loading the source and target pages, in the mapping section, the dataset columns of source and target will be automatically mapped for each mapping.

After Visual Mapping, the "Column Mapping" section displays the columns of the source dataset and target dataset that were selected for the data comparison. It provides a count of the number of dataset columns that are mapped and unmapped in the "Mapped" and "Unmapped" tabs respectively.

Filters (for the rest of the validation types)

The filters section enables users to apply the filters and parameters on the reports to help in validating them. These filters can either be applied and selected directly through reports or they can be parameterized as well.

Options section varies depending on the type of validation selected by the user. Options section is the pre final stage of generating the flows where some of the advanced options and comparison options are prompted to be selected as per the liking of the user to get the results as they like.

Here’s a sample screenshot of options section before generating the dataflows

This screenshot indicates report to report comparison options to be selected.

Generate section helps to generate multiple dataflows with the selected type of validation depending on the number of selected workbooks for tableau.

The above screenshot indicates that four dataflows are set to be generated on clicking the Generate BI Dataflows button. These dataflows are the same type of validation (Tableau Regression Validation in this case)

Stress Test Plan

To automate the stress testing and performance testing of Tableau Reports, Datagaps DataOps suite BI Validator comes with a component called Stress Test Plan to simulate the number of users actively accessing the reports to analyze how Tableau reports and dashboards perform under heavy load. Results of the stress test plan can be used to point out performance issues, optimize data models and queries to ensure the robustness of the Tableau environment to handle heavy usage patterns. Stress Test Plan allows users to perform the stress testing for multiple views from multiple workbooks at once enabling the flexibility and automation to check for performance bottlenecks of Tableau reports.

For more information on Stress Test Plan, check out “Tableau Performance Testing”.

Integration with CI/CD tools and Pipelines

In addition to these features, DataOps Suite comes with other interesting features like application in built pipelines where the set of Tableau BI dataflows can be run automatically in a certain order either in sequence or parallel.

Also, there’s an inbuilt scheduler in the application where the users can schedule the run of these pipelines involving these BI dataflows well in advance. The jobs can be scheduled to run once or repeatedly as well.

Achieve the seamless and automated Tableau report validation with the advanced capabilities of Datagaps DataOps Suite BI Validator.

The Ultimate Tableau Dashboard Testing Checklist

Ensuring the quality of a Tableau dashboard goes beyond building. It requires thorough testing to validate its reliability and usability. This tableau dashboard testing checklist focuses on essential aspects like verifying data accuracy, evaluating functionality, security testing to protect sensitive data, stress testing for performance under load, and visual testing to maintain clarity and design standards.

Aspects Involved in Testing the Tableau Dashboard

Testing Data Sources:

Ensure the dashboard is connected to the correct data sources and that credentials are set up properly.

Checking Data Accuracy:

1. Check whether the source data is reflected in the dashboard. This involves cross-checking the data on the dashboard with the data from the sources.

2. Verify that the calculated fields, aggregates, and measures are as expected.

Functionality Testing:

1. Report or dashboard design check.

2. Filters and parameters testing to see if they work as expected and do not display incorrect data. Also, if the dynamic changes to data visuals are applied and reflected.

3. Drilldown reports checking.

4. Ease of navigation, interactivity, and responsiveness in terms of usability.

Security Testing:

1. To check the security for report access and Row Level Security Permissions.

2. Integration of Single Sign On (SSO) security.

3. Multi-factor authentication.

Regression Testing:

Any change to the BI Dashboard/Model can impact the existing reports. It is important to perform regression testing so that after updates or modifications, the data/visuals shown in the dashboard remain the same before and after the changes.

Stress Testing:

To test the load time, run time, filter application time, and to simulate the access of reports and user behavior.

Visual Testing:

To check alignments, layouts, consistencies in terms of texts, visuals, or images to ensure all the elements are properly aligned.

How Does DataOps Suite BI Validator Enable Testing of Tableau Dashboards?

BI Validator is a no-code testing tool to automate the regression, stress, and functional testing of Tableau reports and dashboards. 

Checking Data Accuracy:

DataOps Suite allows users to validate the data from the visuals of the report to be compared to the source databases. On connecting to Tableau and selecting a report, the datasets underlying the visuals of the reports are accessible through the suite as well. Each Visual has its own dataset, which can be compared to a source database used to build the tableau report.

This is possible with the help of the Data Compare component in the suite, which can compare the aggregated data from the databases and the datasets of the visuals. The differences are captured, thus allowing users to check the data accuracy between the reports and databases.

Functionality Testing and Visual Testing:

Once the connection is established, the users can access the reports and the exact workspace to work with. The specific workbook/report is accessible. The report will be loaded without any changes, and the visuals and filters of the report can be accessed from the BI Validator itself, thus verifying the responsiveness of the visuals and filters and verifying whether the dynamic changes are reflected.

The BI Validator comes with the Tableau Upgrade component to compare two reports, which can be the same or different from one or different data sources.

A common use case is the comparison of views and worksheets across multiple environments. Comparison can be done in terms of both text and appearance, where the differences are captured and pointed out wherever mismatch occurs in both reports. Also, BI Validator allows the differences in the filters of both reports to be pointed out on enabling “Capture filters after applying.”.

Security Testing:

BI Validator connects with Tableau Testing through direct trust authentication, default authentication, or personal access token, where the users must provide their respective Tableau credentials, secret key, and secret ID (in direct trust connection) and the necessary web login commands (for default or personal access token connection). Thus, ensuring the authentication is secure so that only the users with valid credentials are accessing their reports to be validated.

BI Validator restricts the users from downloading the testing results when it comes to BI Reports to prevent the sensitive information from being downloaded.

The DataOps suite also has user-based access through roles and containers to prevent access to reports for everyone. The BI Validator can only allow users with defined roles and permissions to access reports.

Regression Testing:

BI Validator supports regression testing of the reports through the Tableau Regression component, which automates the testing of Tableau reports during any in-place upgrades and workbook deployments. This testing happens by comparing a benchmarked/baseline version of the dashboard/report with the live version. The filters can be changed accordingly if needed before/after the benchmarking. These filter changes can be bookmarked as the latest checkpoint before running the test.

Similar to upgrades, regression test runs can validate the differences in terms of appearance or text. Also, differences in the filters can be pointed out on enabling “capture filters after applying.”

Stress Testing:

BI Validator comes with a stress test plan to simulate concurrent users accessing reports to evaluate how reports and dashboards perform under heavy load. The plan typically involves running multiple users through different types of interactions, such as viewing reports, applying filters, refreshing data, and interacting with custom visuals.

The stress test plan allows the users to select the pages/dashboards from required workspaces to perform stress testing. These pages can be either from the same or different report.

Users can run the stress test plan on specific run options like number of parallel users, time spent on each page, total simulation run time, number of seconds to reach parallel users, refresh time, and other options to run the stress test plan.

The runs will result in showing metrics like Average Open Time and Max Open Time, Average Filter Apply Time, SLA Failures.
