Case Study: Trainual reduces manual testing time with Datafold Cloud

Trainual cuts manual dbt testing by 90% with Datafold

Trainual, a SaaS company that helps organizations automate employee onboarding and training, faced a challenge with its lean data team spending excessive time on manual testing. The team, led by Senior Data Engineer Norm Warren, needed to ensure data completeness, check for schema changes, and validate code before deployment, a process that was cumbersome and time-consuming without the right tools. They sought a solution to compare datasets efficiently and turned to Datafold Cloud's Deployment Testing.

By implementing Datafold, Trainual automated its data comparison and testing processes. The solution provided immediate, at-a-glance insights into data changes, which drastically reduced manual effort. This resulted in a 90% decrease in time spent on manual testing, saving the team 1-2 days per pull request and increasing their overall efficiency by 30%. Datafold enabled the small team to manage their growing data stack with greater confidence and speed.
