Are the numbers on your dashboard correct? How can you know? How can anybody be sure? You need a proof. And the proof is a set of automated tests for your data. CAT can easily connect to any source of data throghout your solution and run automated checks. It can compare data from different systems. It gives you an overview whether everything works as anticipated. https://docs.justcat.it/what-is-cat/cat-use-cases/ Thu, 27 Jun 2024 03:01:11 +0100 https://docs.justcat.it/what-is-cat/cat-use-cases/ CAT is a tool for testing data in an automated way.

You may have Azure DevOps pipelines and want to run tests with every deployment. You might have some complex data transformation logic and want to test data with each run. https://docs.justcat.it/what-is-cat/cat-test-examples/ Thu, 27 Jun 2024 03:01:11 +0100 https://docs.justcat.it/what-is-cat/cat-test-examples/ No problem, here you are.
