SQL notebooks are a first-class citizen in Microsoft Fabric — yet they’re still one of the least tested parts of modern data platforms.
In this video, I show why traditional unit testing doesn’t map well to SQL notebooks, and why contract testing is usually a better fit. Instead of testing implementation details, we focus on what actually matters in SQL: schemas, columns, data types, nullability, and transformation guarantees.
You’ll see how to:
- Think about SQL notebooks as production code
- Apply contract testing to SQL notebooks in Microsoft Fabric
- Turn implicit data assumptions into explicit, testable contracts
