Governance of DataOps with Alteryx
After developing a data pipeline, automating and scaling the workflow is the next task for a DataOps deployment. This automation and scaling utilize the server-hosted components of Alteryx with Alteryx Server and Alteryx Connect. Before you save a workflow to Alteryx Server, you want to make sure your workflow includes tests as part of your workflow. Including these tests ensures that our data pipelines are robust and we will take action if something falls outside our expectations.
Testing workflows and outputs
Implementing the testing mechanisms uses the Message tool and the Test tool. We investigated how these tests can be created and used in Chapter 9, Testing Workflows and Outputs. The Test and Message tools allow you to define a logic check that produces a response from the tool. With the Test tool, you can return an error into the workflow when your conditional check fails. This situation allows for simple output to ensure we meet the...
