DataKitchen TestGen
DataKitchen TestGen profiles databases, generates data quality tests, and shows results and quality scores in dashboards. Its listed checks include 55 profiling characteristics, 32 hygiene detector tests, and 49 test types, including generated tests, business rules, and custom SQL. Monitors cover freshness, volume, schema, and custom metrics, using predictive models to flag changes such as late arrivals and schema drift. Supported databases include Snowflake, Databricks SQL, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure SQL Database, SQL Server, OneLake, BigQuery, Redshift, Aurora PostgreSQL, Oracle 12c and later, SAP HANA, PostgreSQL, and Salesforce Data 360. It can also profile and test structured data in Iceberg, Parquet, Avro, ORC, CSV, and JSON through supported external-table options. TestGen runs in the customer’s infrastructure; DataKitchen says it does not host the application or receive customer data. It queries target databases with read-only access and stores results and metadata in its application database. The free Open Source plan is limited to one user, one connection, and one project. Enterprise costs $100 a month, billed per user and per database connection.
