dbt ships with [Not Null](/reference/resource-properties/data-tests#not-null), [Unique](/reference/resource-properties/data-tests#unique), [Relationships](/reference/resource-properties/data-tests#relationships), and [Accepted Values](/reference/resource-properties/data-tests#accepted-values) generic data tests. (These used to be called "schema tests," and you'll still see that name in some places.) Under the hood, these generic data tests are defined as `test` blocks (like macros) in a globally accessible dbt project. You can find the source code for these tests in the [global project](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/tree/main/core/dbt/include/global_project/macros/generic_test_sql).

:::info
There are tons of generic data tests defined in open source packages, such as [dbt-utils](https://hub.getdbt.com/dbt-labs/dbt_utils/latest/) and [dbt-expectations](https://hub.getdbt.com/calogica/dbt_expectations/latest/) — the test you're looking for might already be here!
