Patented ELV Architecture

BI Testing Tool Architecture

BI Validator makes use of Datagaps’ patented ELV Architecture (Extract, Load, Validate) to automate BI Testing. This architecture supports extraction of reports and report metadata from Business Intelligence tools such as OBIEE, Tableau and Business Objects. BI Validator comes with Desktop, Repository (PostgreSQL or Oracle Database), and Server. Desktop is used for creating connections, test plans and running / scheduling for test execution. Repository is used as a database to store test definitions and test execution results. Server executes scheduled test plans and provides web-based interface for viewing reports.
