Spirit - Regression testing

Each time when software gets a new version or systems are replaced, it is very important to test if the results are still as they should be. The complexity of comparing the different datasets is increasing by the size of the datasets. Small datasets can be compared using Excel (although this is not always easy), with large datasets this is impossible.

With Spirit datasets of all sizes can be quickly compared. After you specified which files you would like to compare and on which dimensions you would like to compare them on, you can repeat the comparison whenever new datasets arrive.

Spirit allows you to find out quickly if datasets are equal or not and with the drill-down and pivot functionality, find out where the differences are.

Spirit has proved to be a big time-saver in getting new versions live and saves lots of money this way!
