MicroStrategy ONE
MicroStrategy Integrity Manager
MicroStrategy Integrity Manager automatically reviews the integrity of data across an organization's Business Intelligence (BI) system, verifying that MicroStrategy BI reports and documents use reliable data.
MicroStrategy Integrity Manager reduces the need for resource-intensive manual testing by running and comparing versions of reports and documents after data updates and throughout the BI development cycle, thereby automating regression testing. Data inconsistencies can be captured much sooner in the development cycle, saving time in report testing, user support, and issue resolution. With MicroStrategy Integrity Manager, companies can increase the scope, effectiveness, and accuracy of their data validation efforts and free developers to focus on content creation rather than manual testing. The comparison output can be analyzed in MicroStrategy Integrity Manager and as HTML and XML summary files that are generated to provide easy result distribution to other users.
Common BI ecosystem changes that require report and data validation include:
- Data warehouse loads and ETL processes
- MicroStrategy BI project migrations
- Software upgrades
- Database optimizations
