dbt Test
Add the right data quality tests to dbt models.
Add schema tests, unit tests, and data quality checks that match model risk.
Turn dbt testing from someday work into part of the workflow.The problem it solves
Teams know they should add tests, but deciding which columns need not_null, unique, relationships, accepted values, ranges, or custom tests is repetitive and easy to postpone.
What it does
When to use it
adding coverage to a new dbt model
improving test coverage on an existing model
practicing test-driven development in dbt
a failing test needs investigation rather than weakening
How it works
The skill reads your columns and relationships, proposes tests that fit the model's behavior, applies YAML when you approve, and validates with dbt.
