Test Cases

A Test Case is an instance of a test definition applied to a specific table or column with concrete parameter values. Test cases produce test results when executed.

A test case links a test definition (the validation logic) to a specific entity (table or column) via an entity link, with parameter values that configure the check.

Entity Link Format

Test cases reference their target entity using an entity link string:

Level	Format	Example
Table	`<#E::table::tableFQN>`	`<#E::table::sample_data.ecommerce_db.shopify.dim_address>`
Column	`<#E::table::tableFQN::columns::colName>`	`<#E::table::sample_data.ecommerce_db.shopify.dim_address::columns::shop_id>`

Fully Qualified Name

The FQN format for a test case depends on the level:

# Table-level test case
sample_data.ecommerce_db.shopify.dim_address.testCaseName

# Column-level test case
sample_data.ecommerce_db.shopify.dim_address.shop_id.testCaseName

Test Case Lifecycle

Create — Define a test case with a test definition, entity link, and parameter values.
Execute — The test case runs (via a test suite execution or manually) and produces a result.
Review — View test results with status (Success, Failed, Aborted) and result values.
