Testing data contracts involves validating schemas and field meanings, checking freshness and null/enum constraints, and running consumer checks in CI to catch breaking changes in pipelines before deploys.

Check types/enums/required fields against contracts.

Check Quality

Test freshness, null rates, ranges, and referential integrity.

Protect Consumers

Run consumer tests in CI; block breaking changes.
