London, UK, October 4th 2016 - Validata Group announces the launch of Test Data Generator 2.0, a real-time end-to-end test data management solution, enabling clients to build smart and efficient data in minutes reducing the cost of testing!
IT organisations today are looking to accelerate the delivery of quality software. DevOps and QA teams are already struggling with testing being integrated in the software development lifecycle, and to find or create data that is ‘fit for purpose’ adds more challenges. A survey among our clients has revealed that although Test Data Management has been a critical part of the development and testing lifecycle, there is still a long way ahead. So far, live production data was used for testing without proper governance. Testers usually spend up to 50% of their time looking for data, and as much as 20% of the total Software Development lifecycle is spent waiting for it.
Teams cannot wait weeks or days to get test data to use in either manual or automated testing. Teams practicing Agile development and continuous integration demand even more test data unlike traditional teams, as they run more tests with more frequency.
Test Data Generator 2.0 is designed to meet your test data needs, offering the market leading functionality and flexibility to find, design and make ‘fit for purpose’ data from files, databases or from scratch, for use in non-production environments.
It leverages a central repository where all data previously generated are linked to test cases and stored as re-usable assets alongside imported data and flat files. The self-service provision of test data enables testers to get access to the exact data they need, and also giving them the ability to further share and re-use this data.
It enables the creation of synthetic test data automatically with the characteristics of production but with no sensitive content, to help you comply with data protection requirements and regulations, and increase risk coverage up to 90% with no bugs making their way into production. With equivalence class testing, you can derive the minimum number of test cases to expose the most noticeable defects, generating your own test data mart that can be either stored in Validata’s relational database with full version control, or exported in Excel. Advanced Spot Diagrams allow users to filter specific data attributes on demand, measure coverage and identify where the gaps in your test data are.
The solution removes testing bottlenecks, improves quality adopting agile and shift left practices, and brings test data closer to testers!
