Testing Challenges in Large Scale OBIEE Projects: Lessons Learned and Best Practices
Testing in large scale Business Intelligence (BI) projects face challenges in data quality assurance, metrics / aggregation rules verification, source to target mapping accuracy, the test cases to the requirements traceability, and anomalies in the dimensions to facts relationships.
Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) is a BI tool that addresses quite a few of these challenges by the nature of the product's growth strategy. As Gartner puts it, "70 functional and industry-specific packaged BI applications built on the Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Platform attests to Oracle's understanding of how to leverage the market interest in domain-specific and prepackaged solutions as a growth driver for its platform." Customers who buy OBIEE typically also buy a relevant packaged solution.
