Great Expectations
==================

*Always know what to expect from your data.*

What is great\_expectations?
----------------------------

Great Expectations is a framework that helps teams save time and promote
analytic integrity with a new twist on automated testing: pipeline
tests. Pipeline tests are applied to data (instead of code) and at batch
time (instead of compile or deploy time).

Software developers have long known that automated testing is essential
for managing complex codebases. Great Expectations brings the same
discipline, confidence, and acceleration to data science and engineering
teams.

Why would I use Great Expectations?
-----------------------------------

To get more done with data, faster. Teams use great\_expectations to

-  Save time during data cleaning and munging.
-  Accelerate ETL and data normalization.
-  Streamline analyst-to-engineer handoffs.
-  Monitor data quality in production data pipelines and data products.
-  Simplify debugging data pipelines if (when) they break.
-  Codify assumptions used to build models when sharing with distributed
   teams or other analysts.

How do I get started?
---------------------

It's easy! Just use pip install:

::

    $ pip install great_expectations

You can also clone the repository, which includes examples of using
great\_expectations.

::

    $ git clone https://github.com/great-expectations/great_expectations.git
    $ pip install great_expectations/

What expectations are available?
--------------------------------

Expectations include: - ``expect_table_row_count_to_equal`` -
``expect_column_values_to_be_unique`` -
``expect_column_values_to_be_in_set`` -
``expect_column_mean_to_be_between`` - ...and many more

Visit the `glossary of
expectations <http://great-expectations.readthedocs.io/en/latest/glossary.html>`__
for a complete list of expectations that are currently part of the great
expectations vocabulary.

What's the best way to get in touch with the Great Expectations team?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

`Issues on
GitHub <https://github.com/great-expectations/great_expectations/issues>`__.
If you have questions, comments, feature requests, etc., `opening an
issue <https://github.com/great-expectations/great_expectations/issues/new>`__
is definitely the best path forward.

Great Expectations doesn't do X. Is it right for my use case?
-------------------------------------------------------------

It depends. If you have needs that the library doesn't meet yet, please
`upvote an existing
issue(s) <https://github.com/great-expectations/great_expectations/issues>`__
or `open a new
issue <https://github.com/great-expectations/great_expectations/issues/new>`__
and we'll see what we can do. Great Expectations is under active
development, so your use case might be supported soon.
