For many companies, regardless of their size, location or sector, business intelligence (BI) software is now playing an increasingly important role. These highly-sophisticated analytic systems are contributing to the understanding of complex business infrastructure, maintaining business operations and driving market advantage. As businesses increase in complexity, BI tools and platforms are providing an effective way to streamline workflows and processes in order to drive efficiency and revenue growth.

And yet the prospect of implementing business intelligence tools can be overwhelming. Encompassing so many systems; whether data mining, forecasting, statistical analysis or query reporting, demands that each of these components is considered – and tested.

Testing is needed to ensure that flaws are absent across the breadth of business intelligence, from data feeds, integration points and web pages. Quality Assurance (QA) testing processes are complicated further by the fact that BI tools are constantly evolving and expanding to encompass new technology, such as cloud-based processing and increasingly graphically-rich dashboards.
