Designing a Scalable ETL Test Automation Framework

Introduction As modern data architectures become more complex, manual ETL testing is no longer sustainable. Enterprises now demand scalable, automated ETL test frameworks that can evolve with growing data volumes, support multiple pipelines, and catch issues early without slowing delivery. This blog breaks down the core components, design principles, and best practices for building a scalable ETL test automation framework — and how TechnoGeeks Training Institute helps you get hands-on with it. Why Build a Test Automation Framework for ETL? Reusability across different projects Faster validation cycles Better test coverage Continuous integration compatibility Improved collaboration between data engineers and QA teams Key Features to Include 1. Reusable Test Templates Build modular test cases that accept parameters — for checking row counts, null values, transformations, and duplicates. 2. Metadata-Driven Execution Use metadata to dynamically generate tests (e.g., ma...
