Source to Target Validation
ETL Data Validation and Reconciliation Across Source and Target Systems
After ETL execution, iceDQ connects to both source and target systems and applies rules to verify that data was processed correctly. Compare at row and column level, validate complex transformation logic, and detect every mismatch before it reaches production.
- Securely connect to databases, files, cloud platforms, and data lakes via 150+ connectors
- Detect missing records, duplicates, and mismatched values at row and column level
- Validate complex transformations, filters, and aggregations with conditional expressions and fuzzy logic
- Reusable test suites across Dev, QA, UAT, and production ETL runs
ETL Data Quality and Validation
Validate Business Logic and ETL Transformations Before Deployment
iceDQ validates input data before it enters the ETL pipeline, ensuring bad data is caught early and never impacts downstream systems. Define and enforce business rules, detect anomalies, and certify ETL output against functional requirements before it goes live.
- Check completeness - all expected records, columns, and mandatory fields present before processing
- Validate formats, data types, date patterns, numeric ranges, and reference data integrity
- Business-level reconciliation - compare related entities like orders vs shipments or accounts vs transactions
- GenAI assistant generates checks from natural language prompts - no coding required
AI-Powered ETL Testing Automation
Agentic ETL Testing Automation: From Discovery to Results
Describe your ETL testing needs in plain English. iceDQ's AI Agent discovers your pipeline, profiles your data, generates rules, schedules execution, and delivers results - all from a single conversation. Connect via MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI platform.
- Discover connections, schemas, and tables automatically without opening a single screen
- Profile source and target tables and receive intelligent check recommendations based on actual data
- Generate hundreds of ETL testing rules from a natural language description or mapping document
- Trigger executions and retrieve pass/fail status and exception breakdowns through natural language
ETL Regression Testing and DataOps
Embed Automated ETL Testing Directly into Your CI/CD Pipeline
iceDQ is built API-first, enabling you to embed ETL testing directly into your CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation across development, QA, and production. Automate ETL regression test packs, track exceptions over time, and catch pipeline regressions before they ship.
- Trigger rules from Jenkins, Azure Pipelines, Bamboo, or any CI/CD tool via REST APIs
- Run regression test packs on every deployment to validate ETL changes before they reach production
- Push test results and exceptions to JIRA, Azure Test Plans, HP ALM, and ServiceNow
- Schedule with built-in scheduler or integrate with Airflow, Control-M, Tidal, and AutoSys
Why Automate
Manual scripts can't replace a purpose-built
ETL testing tool
See how iceDQ transforms ETL testing across every key dimension - from data validation coverage to compliance readiness.

What our customers say
We have standardized iceDQ for all our cloud migration. It has become the foundation of our data testing practice.
We probably saved 5,000 hours - approximately $500,000 - on the data migration project alone.
BMC was able to achieve 100% test coverage after iceDQ implementation. The improvement was immediate.
RuleGen helped Pfizer reduce IT testing duration from 24 months to 2 months. A transformation in how we work.
iceDQ enabled testers to keep up with the pace of developers and reduced testing time by half across all projects.
Not only did we achieve near-perfect quality, but we also saved significant time and money on the project.
