New release introduces Mapping Studio and Validation Lineage, plus expanded file connectivity, Power BI paginated report testing, IBM watsonx integration, and a redesigned interface

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QuerySurge, the enterprise standard for automated data validation, today announced QuerySurge 15. The release is headlined by Mapping Studio and Validation Lineage, which together give data teams the industry’s first unified environment connecting data mapping documentation to automated validation testing.

Mapping Studio: Connecting Documentation to Validation
In most enterprise data organizations, mapping documents live in spreadsheets, while validation tests live elsewhere, maintained by different teams on different schedules. The gap between what data is supposed to do and what tests actually verify widens with every change in requirements, migration, or pipeline update.

QuerySurge Mapping Studio closes that gap. Teams can create mappings in QuerySurge or import existing Excel and CSV mapping documents, standardize them with configurable Mapping Layouts, and generate validation tests automatically with QuerySurge AI: Mapping Intelligence. Mappings stay linked to their tests as both evolve.

“When mapping documentation and validation assets live in different places, gaps accumulate,” said Bill Hayduk, CEO of QuerySurge. “Requirements change, and tests don’t. New mappings get added, and nobody generates the tests. Mapping Studio brings the two together, so whether your data does what your documentation says is no longer left to manual interpretation.”

Validation Lineage: Understanding the Impact of Every Change
When transformation logic changes, teams need to know which tests need attention. Tracing dependencies by hand across mappings, queries, test suites, and schedules is slow and error-prone, and data errors can reach reports before anyone notices.

QuerySurge Validation Lineage connects requirements and testing assets in an interactive visual graph. Teams can explore upstream and downstream dependencies, assess the impact of a change before updating tests, and use coverage reports to find mappings with no tests.

Additional Capabilities in QuerySurge 15

• Expanded File Connections: Native validation of JSON, and Parquet files from local storage, Amazon S3, and Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage, in the same workflow as database validation.
• Power BI Paginated Report Testing: BI Tester now compares Power BI paginated report data with trusted source or target data, using the same report parameters the business uses.
• IBM watsonx Integration: QuerySurge AI now supports IBM watsonx as an AI endpoint alongside OpenAI.
• New QuerySurge Interface: A redesigned interface with updated icons and clearer labels helps new users get oriented faster.

Availability
QuerySurge 15 is available now. Existing customers can upgrade through the standard update process. New customers can request a demo at querysurge.com/request-demo. Full details are at querysurge.com/.
