Ensuring Data Quality via Data Testing and Versioning - Interview w/ Jesse Paquette

In this episode, Jesse Paquette, Chief Science Officer and Co-founder at Tag.bio - a data platform vendor in the life sciences space, and Scott dive a bit deeper into data quality in general, especially data testing and versioning. You can see the LinkedIn post that sparked this discussion https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6881406997678424064?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A6881406997678424064%2C6881548651487907840%29 (here) Jesse recommends a number of things to ensure data quality, especially data testing and versioning. This includes versioning of 1) the code used to create the data (generally the ETL code), 2 the schema, 3) the business logic layer, and 4) timestamping / temporality based versioning. Jesse's general calls to action are 1) make data testing frameworks so testing is much less tedious and time consuming; 2) work with stakeholders to gain trust in the data and then continue the dialogue to keep said trust; and 3) create schema/domain model blueprints so that domains have a starting point - whether they use it is irrelevant but shortening the path to a working domain model is crucial.
