In the pursuit of efficient software testing, BNK Technology Solutions’ Test Data Management (TDM) tool stands as a definitive solution for saving time and reducing costs. TDM revolutionizes testing by seamlessly transferring production-level data to various working environments or generating high-quality synthetic data. This dynamic approach ensures a continuous supply of reliable test data, enhancing software testing processes and accelerating the product development lifecycle.
TDM is the cornerstone for meeting the test data needs of software testing teams. It delivers impeccable test data—customized in quantity, format, and environment—to support development, testing, UAT, and more. TDM utilizes two distinct methods to achieve this:
-
Production Data Migration:
When operational data is available, TDM expertly manages its transition to the target environment. This can involve full database migration or selective data subsets, optimizing storage and efficiency. -
Synthetic Data Generation:
In cases where production data is unavailable—such as during early development or for unreleased products—TDM leverages rule-based algorithms and advanced AI & ML models to generate precise, contextually relevant synthetic data from scratch. This ensures that testing teams always have access to tailored test data, even without live production data.
With BNK Technology Solutions’ TDM, your teams are empowered to streamline testing, improve data quality, and drive faster, more reliable software delivery.
Why Test Data Management?
Problems of the Industry Facing:
- Obtaining high-quality data is hard, and generating data manually takes quite a long time and it’s not cost-effective, or limited access.
- Regulations in obtaining data (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, BRSA, and PCI DSS etc.).
- Privacy threads and data security
- Limited storage concerns for the test environments.
- Need for a fresh data set for each tester or each recurrence of testing process.
- Need in the same dataset for different purposes of use.
- Need to evaluate the characteristics of the test data used retrospectively.
- Each test user has specific test data configuration needs.
- Affected test data by other test users working on different business rules.
Solutions Brought by TDM to Each Problem:
- Either use production data by migrating them to the test environment or generate synthetic test data that mimics real-world data automatically from scratch.
- Compliance with data regulations can be ensured.
- Protection of production data by masking and encryption can be ensured.
- Data sub-setting of production data can be done safely.
- Data can be generated/refreshed and used several times.
- Data cloning can be possible instead of migrating or creating them in case of a need.
- Follow-up test data changes from creation with reports, metrics, and historical data.
- User-specific configurations can be done without any conflict.
- Test data isolation can be possible.
