Synthetic Test Data Generation from Test Data Automation

Automatically generate test data for every possible test

Using Test Data Automation, QA or Ops teams can build data  models  automatically  from  a  range  of  sources,  retaining the relationships that exist across tables and columns for realistic test data generation.  Easy-to-use parameters makes data definition quick  and  simple,  while  business  rules  can  also be  specified  quickly.  Soft relationships can  additionally  be  added  to  the  synthetic  data,  generating realistic, production-like  data  for  rigorous  testing.

This three part video series demonstrates how  to  generate  high  quality  synthetic  test  data  using  Test Data Automation.  Watch the example of an SQL eCommerce database to see how:

1. Accurate data models of existing data can be built automatically, pointing VIP to a range of database and file types. This includes SQL Server, Oracle, My SQL, Postgres, and MS Access.

2. The automated data modelling produces an easy-to-use spreadsheet for test data generation, retaining the existing and custom defined relationships.

3. A “fill-in-the-blanks” approach then allows you to specify dynamic or static test data for each table, using over 500 custom data generation functions to create complete test data with which to execute every test.

4. Existing data can be incorporated into the automated test generation, while event hooks reflect complex business logic accurately in the synthetic data, for realistic testing that matches your system under test exactly
