the process of Testing the web based application and ETL application is quit diffrent.the major difference is in web based application we test the GUI part of the applicaytion as well as the main functional tesitng.but as it in ETL first
 
we have to understand the source structure like ,how many records are comming from source and how many records are loaded in to the target this is the basic motivation for testing the ETL. then how many records are rejecting and waht is the reason for rejecting.

second,we have to test the Back-end data driven test.

we have to test ETL components by execuitng SQL,PL/SQL queyries.

we have to test the mapping naming convertion is done with respect to SRS.
