Topic: Data Testing Automation for Big Data & AI: Lessons from TSB Bank’s Migration Meltdown Date: October 17th 2024 | Time: 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM Venue: Excella Office 2300 Wilson Blvd, Suite 600, Arlington, VA.
Headliner Talk:
The Challenge: The rise of AI and big data initiatives like cloud migrations, data lakes, warehouses, pipelines, and BI/CRM systems is pushing businesses to manage vast troves of data. These complex projects, often characterized by terabytes of data and background processes, pose unique challenges for traditional QA automation tools primarily designed for user interfaces (UI).
The Opportunity: While application testing automation is well-established, a critical gap exists – a lack of specialized data testing tools and expertise. This gap presents a significant opportunity to leverage data testing automation.
The Case Study: In 2018, one of the largest British retail banks, TSB, botched a major customer data migration project. Millions of customers were affected as TSB’s website went down for more than three weeks. The chaos led to a UK parliamentary enquiry and a £294.9 million regulatory fine for TSB. The bank’s CIO was sacked and also personally fined £81,620.
Takeaways from this Session:
Differences between data testing and application testing.
Why dedicated data testing automation is essential.
Core concepts of data testing.
Various data testing techniques and their implementation.
How TSB’s migration failure highlights the need for thorough data testing.
Career opportunities for QA engineers in data testing.
