    Topic: From Bronze to Gold: A Practical Testing Strategy for Microsoft Fabric

    THE SPEAKER - Mikhail Koptelov

    THE SESSION
    Testing in Microsoft Fabric requires different strategies depending on where your logic lives. In this talk, we explore how to apply unit and contract testing across the Fabric stack:

    • Pipeline unit tests for reliable orchestration and data movement

    • Python notebook testing using both notebook-first and package-first approaches

    • SQL contract testing to ensure downstream dependencies remain stable

    By the end, you’ll have a practical blueprint for building robust, testable Fabric workloads from Bronze to Gold.

    Pre-requisites: Basic understanding of Fabric and python
