#### Specify custom configurations for generic data tests

_Currently available in dbt Cloud only. Specifying custom configurations for data tests will become available in dbt Core later this year._

Use any custom config key to specify custom configurations for data tests. For example, the following specifies the `snowflake_warehouse` custom config that dbt should use when executing the `accepted_values` data test:

```yml

models:
- name: my_model
columns:
- name: color
tests:
- accepted_values:
values: ['blue', 'red']
config:
severity: warn
snowflake_warehouse: my_warehouse

```

Given the config, the data test runs on a different Snowflake virtual warehouse than the one in your default connection to enable better price-performance with a different warehouse size or more granular cost allocation and visibility.
