Strategy Integrity Manager is an automated report comparison tool designed to streamline the testing of Strategy projects. This tool was introduced in Strategy 8.1.1 and it can determine how a given change in a project environment, such as regular maintenance changes to metadata objects or hardware or software upgrades, affects the reports in that project.
For instance, a user may want to ensure that the changes involved in moving a project from a development environment into production do not alter any of the reports. Strategy Integrity Manager can compare reports in the development and the production projects, and highlight any differences. This can assist users in tracking down functional discrepancies between the two projects.
Strategy Integrity Manager can also execute reports from a single Strategy project to confirm they remain operational after changes to the system. Strategy Integrity Manager can execute any or all reports from the project, note whether or not they execute, and show the results of each report.
Strategy Integrity Manager can perform the following types of comparisons:
The results of the comparisons are presented to the users in a user friendly interface that will highlight the differences, if any, of the reports that were tested, as shown below:
