I was just wondering if and how people compare two versions of the same DI studio workflow. As in, we have our dev environment and we move it to a test environment. In there I, as a tester not the coder, would like to verify the changes that has been done.

There are of course sooo many places where SAS creates temporary table names, the current users name et cetera. So, how do I find the actual changes and not all the other things?

The other coder might have changed one single thing in a 70+ transformation flow. How would I verify what has actually been changed.

 

I would of course like to be able to see it just like a text diff tool.

Unfortetatly, there is to my knowledgo no OOTB tool for this.

I know that people have created diff scripts that ommit WORK-table/view names and metadata id. But it's not public.

But should you as a tester concern yourself with syntax implementation? Maybe it's enough to execute the job and compare the results with expected outcome (and previous/existing outcome)?
