Summary
Congratulations! In this chapter, you learned how dbt makes it very simple to add consistency to your transformations.
You can now create your own macros and, even better, use macros provided by others in packages to speed up your development and consistently implement patterns and transformations.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to make your development and transformations reliable and ensure data quality with the help of tests.
Tests are the other great improvement that dbt brought to the world of data management – making testing part of a normal, expected development cycle, as it is normal to expect modern software to be developed with a robust test suite.
