Summary

In this chapter, we investigated the different methods for testing a workflow and the data outputs. We learned how the Message and Test tools could be used to identify exceptions in your workflows. We also saw how those Test tools had been used in the CREW macros to extend the messaging capability for workflow analysis.

We then learned how to automate the validation of data outputs and generate a notification based on the results. We also used our skills to apply an outlier monitoring process to a dataset.

Finally, we learned how to centralize the monitoring of a workflow process and generate an insights dashboard. We learned how publishing that insight and the associated workflow could make the monitoring process available for other people to access.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to apply the DataOps principles to the workflow publication process. We will learn the methods for monitoring the Alteryx Server environment and create a monitoring insights dashboard...
