etl
todays large enterprise records, stores, and processes more information than ever. Highly integrated computer applications have displaced application silos. enterprise Application Integration (eAI) technologies such as etl form a connection between disparate systems. extract, transform, and load (etl) software is one of the most popular methods to get different applications talking.
Information must make its way from one system to another. This journey often requires the data to be read from one source, transported to another computing platform, translated into a different format, and finally, loaded into a target applications database. As information is manipulated through ETL, will the resulting information be accurate, consistent, and reliable? Dont bet your business on it. There are too many risks.

The increasing complexity of data, frequency of system changes, lack of good test cases and test data, and many other factors heighten the risk of information errors. By its very nature, ETL transforms data according to rules encoded within ETL maps or transactions. These transformations are subject to the usual array of software quality risks. Errors in map definition eventually result in errors in ETL results. The risk of information error in ETL is amplified by the depth of data complexity and breadth of system changes on both the source and target.
