1. A method comprising:
retrieving a first BI Artifact Output, wherein the first BI Artifact Output is generated by execution of a first version of a BI Artifact in a first BI Environment, and wherein a first specification associated with the first version of the BI Artifact comprises one or more specification markers, and wherein the first BI Artifact Output comprises one or more output markers associated with at least one of specification markers in the first specification; retrieving a second version of the BI Artifact, wherein a second specification is associated with the second version of the BI Artifact, and wherein the second specification comprises one or more specification markers; executing the second version of the BI Artifact in the first BI environment to generate a second BI Artifact Output, wherein the second BI 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; comparing the first BI Artifact Output to the second BI Artifact Output based at least partially on at least one of the output markers in the first BI Artifact Output and at least one of the output markers in the second BI Artifact Output; identifying whether one or more differences exist between the first version of the BI Artifact and the second version of the BI Artifact based at least partially on the comparison; 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 BI Artifact and the second version of the BI Artifact.
