Nope! QuerySurge comes with its own embedded database. We handle the database licensing, so deploying QuerySurge will not affect any licensing that your organization currently has.

No – in fact, we do not recommend deploying Agents on your database servers. Agents should be deployed in your environment in a hub-and-spoke relationship to the QuerySurge application server. Any boxes or VMs with sufficient resources (see questions above) to perform QuerySurge tasks can be used, including the Testers’ desktops.

Yes. If you deployed your Trial installation on the same hardware as you plan for your production QuerySurge installation, you’re all set – all we need to do is apply your new license to your existing QuerySurge instance. Everything else stays the same.
If you need to move your queries from your trial QuerySurge instance to your ​“permanent” QuerySurge installation, please contact us or get in touch with your account manager. We’ll be happy to help you!

QuerySurge is a pure Web 2.0 application with a database server behind an app server. Users can access the software through any supported browser (Chrome, FireFox, Edge, and Safari).

QuerySurge supports all Hadoop and NoSQL data stores, Data Warehouses, traditional databases, flat files, XML, Excel, mainframe, JSON and any other JDBC compliant data structure. For a full list of technologies supported, click here»

All database connections can be configured using QuerySurge’s built-in Connection wizard. You will have the option to access this wizard when installing the application.

No. Once a Connection has been set up in the application, all authorized QuerySurge users can build queries using any connection.

QuerySurge ships with a flat file JDBC driver that makes your files ​“look” like database tables to QuerySurge. You can then query your files using a standard SQL dialect.

We have an XML file JDBC driver that makes your XMLs ​“look” like database tables to QuerySurge. You query your files using a standard SQL dialect. Contact us for information.

Yes, QuerySurge is built for this! You can query flat file vs. database, excel file vs. database, XML file vs. database, flat file vs. flat file, Hadoop/Hive vs. database, Hadoop/Hive vs. flat file, etc. in any combination.
If you have a specific data source combination to ask us about, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

QuerySurge has a Connection Wizard in the Administrative view to take you through the process of setting up connections to your Source and Target data sources.

The QuerySurge Agent is the component of the architecture that actually executes queries against Source and Target data sources, returning the results to QuerySurge. Agents are deployed in a hub-and-spoke relationship to the QuerySurge application server.

There are no syntax limitations. Any query syntax that you put in QuerySurge will be executed as-is. You may use all ANSI SQL syntax plus any custom syntax your database or data source supports.

Absolutely — most testing groups already have SQL for their current testing process. This SQL can be either be used directly in QuerySurge or tweaked for QuerySurge to give you a jump-start in implementing your automated data testing effort.

You can schedule runs in QuerySurge either by creating a QuerySurge Scenario, which lets you schedule based on time, or you may use the QuerySurge execution API, which lets you schedule based on events external to QuerySurge.

The QuerySurge execution API lets you schedule based on events external to QuerySurge. The API is provided both as a RESTful and command-line API that you can deploy in your environment and call into QuerySurge’s execution engine from external processes. It also has 60+ other calls that allow you to do everything the QuerySurge interface allows you to do.

QuerySurge provides a clean, intuitive workflow for all the major tasks, and our users find it easy to move their work into QuerySurge quickly. QuerySurge also provides a Knowledge Base of articles, self-paced training, free certification exams, and a built-in tutorial.

It does help, but QuerySurge offers lots of ways to generate tests without knowing SQL. QuerySurge AI, our generative artificial intelligence module, automatically creates data validation tests, including transformational tests, based on data mappings. Test creation happens in minutes, converting data mappings into tests written in the data store’s native SQL with little to no human intervention from this low-code or no-code solution. QuerySurge’s Query Wizard generates simple SQL queries for your straightforward tests, performing table-to-table, column-to-column, and row count compares. SQL knowledge will help you craft queries for your more complex tests. See our course offerings to jump-start your use of QuerySurge.

QuerySurge retains history for your QueryPairs and your Suites. You can see all revisions on each QueryPair, who made the revision, and when it was performed. You can also generate reports on QueryPair and Suite history for project audit or other management purposes.
