DataOps, which focuses on automated tools throughout the ETL development cycle, responds to a huge challenge for data integration and ETL projects in general. ETL projects are increasingly based on agile processes and automated testing.
ETL (i.e., extract, transform, load) projects are often devoid of automated testing. The lack of automated testing is usually due to 1) critical ETL testing functions that are not available on the market or open source, 2) the complexity of some ETL testing tools, or 3) the high cost of developing tools in-house.
