ICC Testing & Quality Assurance 2

Question 1

Which Informatica IDMC feature allows you to validate a mapping's logic without actually running data through it?

Accepted Answer

Mapping Validate

Answer

Mapping Validate checks the mapping configuration for errors before execution without processing real data.

Question 2

When testing a Synchronization task in IDMC, what is the recommended approach to limit the rows processed during a test run?

Accepted Answer

Set a Row Limit in the task's advanced properties

Answer

The Row Limit setting in advanced properties caps the number of records processed, making test runs faster and safer.

Question 3

In IDMC, which log type provides the most granular detail for diagnosing a failed Data Integration task?

Accepted Answer

Session Log

Answer

The Session Log records row-level processing details, transformation output, and error messages for each task run.

Question 4

A developer wants to test only the target write behavior of a mapping without reading from the real source system. What technique achieves this?

Accepted Answer

Use a mock source object pointing to a flat file with sample data

Answer

Swapping the live source for a flat file containing representative sample data isolates target write logic from source connectivity.

Question 5

Which IDMC Taskflow feature helps QA teams ensure that a pipeline only proceeds to the next step when all prerequisite tasks succeed?

Accepted Answer

Success/Failure event-based sequencing

Answer

Event-based sequencing connects tasks using Success or Failure events so downstream tasks only run when upstream tasks complete successfully.
