How do you know when a collection of records is one Data Asset instead of two Data Assets or when two collections ofrecords are really part of the same Data Asset? In Great Expectations, we think the answer lies in the user. GreatExpectations opens insights and enhances communication while protecting against pipeline risks and data risks, but thatrevolves around a purpose in using some data (even if that purpose starts out as "I want to understand what I havehere"!).

We recommend that you call a collection of records a Data Asset when you would like to track metadata (and especially, Expectations) about it. A collection of records is a Data Asset when it's worth giving it a name.

Since the purpose is so important for understanding when a collection of records is a Data Asset, it immediately followsthat Data Assets are not necessarily disjoint. The same data can be in multiple Data Assets. You may have differentExpectations of the same raw data for different purposes or produce documentation tailored to specific analyses andusers.

Not all records in a Data Asset need to be available at the same time or place. A Data Asset could be built from streaming data that is never stored, incremental deliveries, analytic queries, incremental updates, replacementdeliveries, or from a one-time snapshot.

That implies that a Data Asset is a logical concept. Not all of the records may be accessible at the same time.That highlights a very important and subtle point: no matter where the data comes from originally, Great Expectationsvalidates batches of data. A batch is a discrete subset of a Data Asset that can be identified by a somecollection of parameters, like the date of delivery, value of a field, time of validation, or access controlpermissions.

It is the sum of total arrangements that provide assurance of data integrity, regardless of the process, format, or technology by which they were generated, recorded, processed, stored, retrieved, and used.

During validation testing, the challenges necessary to identify and define the location of data and electronic records (IQ), the verification of processes and procedures creation, file transfer, the backup and restoration of data as well as the evidence for the maintenance check of these attributes during the operational process (OQ) and as part of the results of the (PQ), should be established (risk-based).

Testing electronic records during system validation demonstrates the integrity of the data being processed by the computer system. The file is given a name and a format with which it can be reproduced. Records to be checked during validation are those with an GxP impact, for example, a production order to be accepted, then the product data are recorded and electronically secured through a system. This is an electronic record. However, if the same order was created by mail and it is printed for manual data recording, the product is signed and stored in a folder for evidence of compliance with the authority, this physical evidence is no longer considered an electronic record.

To ensure that electronic signatures can not be altered, copied or transferred to be counterfeited in another electronic record other than the original, it is necessary to include in the validation tests the verification of their encryption, of the way they are attached to information and attached to the document, so that they cannot be extracted by ordinary means. Several documents should be tested to verify that a specific signature (a string of characters or electronic data attached for authentication) has been placed for each document.

Starting in Tapestry 5.4, the default behavior for server-side validation failures is to re-render the page within the same request (rather than emitting a redirect). This removes the need to use a session-persistent field to store the validation tracker when validation failures occur.

Finally, notice how business logic fits into validation. The UserAuthenticator service is responsible for ensuring that the userName and (plaintext) password are valid. When it returns false, we ask the Form component to record an error. We provide the PasswordField instance as the first parameter; this ensures that the password field, and its label, are decorated when the Form is re-rendered, to present the errors to the user.

There are plenty of examples of using Great Expectations on the Internet. But they do not cover realistic test cases. As a tester, when I started to use the tool in a practical setting, I realized that the examples were not sufficient for the kind of tests that QA engineers dream up. The tutorials were written by people trying to get good at using Great Expectations. And not really from the perspective of someone testing the quality of data being collected. There were many data checks that I wanted to perform which were not available out of the box. So I thought I would fill the hole and write a series of posts to help testers implement useful tests with Great Expectations for data validation.

The column metrics maps are used when filtering to select both data and delete files. For delete files, the metrics must store bounds and counts for all deleted rows, or must be omitted. Storing metrics for deleted rows ensures that the values can be used during job planning to find delete files that must be merged during a scan.

When a file is replaced or deleted from the dataset, its manifest entry fields store the snapshot ID in which the file was deleted and status 2 (deleted). The file may be deleted from the file system when the snapshot in which it was deleted is garbage collected, assuming that older snapshots have also been garbage collected [1].

All the work is done by the accepts method of the form object. It filters the request.vars according to the declared requirements (expressed by validators). accepts stores those variables that pass validation into form.vars. If a field value does not meet a requirement, the failing validator returns an error and the error is stored in form.errors. Both form.vars and form.errors are gluon.storage.Storage objects similar to request.vars. The former contains the values that passed validation, for example:

More important is that now the accepts method does a lot more work for you. As in the previous case, it performs validation of the input, but additionally, if the input passes validation, it also performs a database insert of the new record and stores in form.vars.id the unique "id" of the new record.

There are times when you want to generate a form from a database table using SQLFORM and you want to validate a submitted form accordingly, but you do not want any automatic INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE in the database. This is the case, for example, when one of the fields needs to be computed from the value of other input fields. This is also the case when you need to perform additional validation on the inserted data that cannot be achieved via standard validators.

As with all other validators this requirement is enforced at the form processing level, not at the database level. This means that there is a small probability that, if two visitors try to concurrently insert records with the same person.name, this results in a race condition and both records are accepted. It is therefore safer to also inform the database that this field should have a unique value:

The first argument of the validator can be a database connection or a DAL Set, as in IS_NOT_IN_DB. This can be useful for example when wishing to limit the records in the drop-down list. In this example, we use IS_IN_DB in a controller to limit the records dynamically each time the controller is called:

Normally, when multiple validators are required (and stored in a list), they are executed in order and the output of one is passed as input to the next. The chain breaks when one of the validators fails.

Working with forms can be complicated! Developers need to write HTML for the form, validate and properly sanitize entered data on the server (and possibly also in the browser), repost the form with error messages to inform users of any invalid fields, handle the data when it has successfully been submitted, and finally respond to the user in some way to indicate success. Django Forms take a lot of the work out of all these steps, by providing a framework that lets you define forms and their fields programmatically, and then use these objects to both generate the form HTML code and handle much of the validation and user interaction.

This stored procedure will call all data quality rule stored procedures as mentioned in the DQ_RULE_CONFIG table for any source table undergoing data quality validation. A snapshot of the DQ_RULE_CONFIG table data is given below.

It is also useful to refer to the data validation step from the data processing step, the next step in our pipeline. Data validation produces statistics around your data features and highlights whether a feature contains a high percentage of missing values or if features are highly correlated. This is useful information when you are deciding which features should be included in the preprocessing step and what the form of the preprocessing should be.

In a world where datasets continuously grow, data validation is crucial to make sure that our machine learning models are still up to the task. Because we can compare schemas, we can quickly detect if the data structure in newly obtained datasets has changed (e.g., when a feature is deprecated). It can also detect if your data starts to drift. This means that your newly collected data has different underlying statistics than the initial dataset used to train your model. This drift could mean that new features need to be selected or that the data preprocessing steps need to be updated (e.g., if the minimum or maximum of a numerical column changes). Drift can happen for a number of reasons: an underlying trend in the data, seasonality of the data, or as a result of a feedback loop, as we discuss in Chapter 13.
