18. A method comprising:
-
retrieving a first Business Intelligence Artifact Output, wherein the first Business Intelligence Artifact Output is generated by execution of a first version of a Business Intelligence Artifact in a first Business Intelligence Environment, and wherein a first specification associated with the first version of the Business Intelligence Artifact includes one or more specification markers, and wherein the first Business Intelligence Artifact Output comprises one or more output markers associated with at least one of the specification markers in the first specification; retrieving a second Business Intelligence Artifact Output, wherein the second Business Intelligence Artifact is generated by execution of a second version of the Business Intelligence Artifact in the first Business Intelligence environment, and wherein a second specification is associated with the second version of the Business Intelligence Artifact, and wherein the second specification includes one or more specification markers; and
wherein the second Business Intelligence Artifact Output comprises one or more output markers associated with at least one of the specification markers in the second specification;retrieving a set of portions to ignore; identifying whether one or more differences exist between the first version of the Business Intelligence Artifact and the second version of the Business Intelligence Artifact based at least partially on a comparison of at least one of the output markers in the first Business Intelligence Artifact Output and at least one of the output markers in the second Business Intelligence Artifact Output; and determining whether one or more of the identified differences are included in the retrieved set of portions to ignore to determine whether differences exist between the first version of the Business Intelligence Artifact and the second version of the Business Intelligence Artifact. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method comprising:
-
retrieving a first instrumented Business Intelligence Artifact Output produced from the execution of a first version of a first Business Intelligence Artifact; retrieving a at least one first assertion associated with the first Business Intelligence Artifact, wherein one or more specification portions to ignore from the first version of the first Business Intelligence Artifact are associated with at least one of the first assertions; retrieving a second version of the first Business Intelligence Artifact; adjusting the specification of the second version of the first Business Intelligence artifact to produce a second instrumented specification, wherein the second instrumented specification comprises one or more second specification markers to uniquely identify portions of the specification of the second version of the first Business Intelligence Artifact; executing the second instrumented specification in the Business Intelligence environment to produce a second instrumented Business Intelligence Artifact Output, wherein the second instrumented Business Intelligence Artifact Output comprises one or more associated output markers emitted by one or more of the second specification markers of the second instrumented specification; comparing the second instrumented Business Intelligence Artifact Output to the first instrumented Business Intelligence Artifact Output such that output portions that are associated with the specification portions designated in the “
specification portions to ignore”
are restricted from being compared; andgenerating an indication that at least one of the first assertions has failed if one or more differences are identified based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
