A process for assessing data quality

Proceedings of the 8th international workshop on Software quality, 2011
Abstract: This industrial report stems from practical experience in assessing the quality of customer databases. The process it describes unites three automated audits, - an audit of the database schema, an audit of the database structure and an audit of the database content. The audit of the database schema checks for design smells and rule violations.
