1.

Highest salary in emp table

4. Challenges and Defects found on ETL Testing
1. Found round function is not working on target data is like truncating the data.
2. In source side getting duplicate data, we need to discuss with source to apply the
surrogate key on source data base side.
3. Data truncation like string length char’s are more like 60 truncating some data.
4. Applying the transformations like joiner it involves more tables
5. In reporting side when we do negative testing like applying invalid data found like
accepting data
6. In reporting side when we do security testing like some of the managers should not able
to access the reporting but they are accessing the reports.
7. Some alignments like expecting radio buttons misplaced.
8. Getting some old data like decommission data came on.
