Functional Test Criteria
Typical functional test criteria might be:
• What BI tools or applications will be used? How will they connect?
• Will the platform support both interactive and batch use cases?
• Will my queries work unchanged, and do I get back the results I expect?
• Where will my business logic live?
• How will I port the schema and data from my current system?
• What changes, if any, will need to be made to the schema definition?
• Do I have source data that can be used as is, or does it need to be obfuscated or even generated from scratch?
• Does the system need to support updates and changes in-place to the data?
If you simply want to quickly run some basic tests to get a feel for the product, then use the performance test kit (see
Running the Performance Test Kit), which is highly automated and can produce some test data and query results.
