Test Data Management (TDM)
Unlock speed, compliance, and improved quality in your test data.
Time
Automate test data provisioning to increase productivity: Developers and QA engineers can focus on creating and testing new functionality in faster development cycles of higher quality.
Money
Increase cost saving: Minimise storage requirements by using optimised test data, leading to bigger cost savings. Smaller storage footprint leads to bigger cost savings.
Security
Manage and protect sensitive information: Verifiable regulatory compliance keeps personal identifiable information (PII) safe.
Quality
Improve testing quality: Get accurate test data in the correct format exactly when required.
Maturing your test data management
Client Challenge
Delays in test data provisioning
Inadequate provisioning of test data can delay the testing process, causing project timelines to slip
Client Benefit
- Faster & consistent test data provisioning
- Testing able to start without delay
- Smaller infrastructure footprint
Our Solution
- Subsetting
- Automated test data provisioning
Client Challenge
Data Inconsistency across Test environments
Test data can vary between test environments, making it difficult to re-use the same test cases across all test environments
Client Benefit
- Ability to easily troubleshoot data discrepancies
- Improved E2E data referential integrity
- Standardised test data sets across test environments
- Reduced test data maintenance overhead
Our Solution
- Data profiling
- Automated test data provisioning
Client Challenge
Security & Compliance Risks
Inability to manage and protect sensitive data can lead to non-compliance with data privacy regulations such as POPIA & GDPR
Client Benefit
- Regulatory compliance w.r.t. Personal Identifiable Information (PII).
- Safeguard against company reputational damage
- Automated generation of test data obfuscation audit reports
Our Solution
- Data profiling
- Obfuscation of sensitive test data
- Access control to certain sets of test data
Client Challenge
Limited Testing coverage
Limited access to diverse test data may restrict the scope of testing scenarios, potentially missing critical issues
Client Benefit
- Ability to cover all required test scenarios
Our Solution
Client Challenge
Inefficient Resource Utilisation
Without automated TDM, testers and developers spend excessive time on data preparation tasks rather than actual testing and development work
Client Benefit
- More productive staff: QA staff and developers spend less time on data preparation tasks & more time on actual testing and development work
Our Solution
- Automated test data provisioning
- Synthetic test data generation
Client Challenge
Difficulty in Scaling Test Environments
Scaling test environments becomes challenging, hindering the ability to handle large-scale testing efforts
Client Benefit
- Faster & consistent test data provisioning across multiple test environments
Our Solution
- Automated test data provisioning
Client Challenge
Difficulty in Data Refresh
Frequent updates to test data to reflect delta changes in the production environment may be cumbersome and error-prone
Client Benefit
- Improved alignment between non-prod & Prod environments
Our Solution
- Automated test data provisioning
Client Challenge
Lack of Data Versioning
Without proper TDM, it may be challenging to manage different versions of test data, hindering historical analysis and regression testing
Client Benefit
- Ability to perform comparisons between various test data sets
Our Solution
- Versioning & rollback capabilities between test data sets
Client Challenge
Inability to Reserve Test Data
Testers & developers can accidentally use the same test data, thereby jeopardising test results
Client Benefit
- Testers/developers can easily find & reserve test data that matches specific criteria
- Personal virtualised data sets can easily be created
Our Solution
- Find & reserve
- Database virtualisation
