Application Aware Test Data Provisioning
Generate test data and test scenarios for end-to-end cross-platform ERP processes, and drive high velocity testing regardless of how often your ERP application — or its processes — change. With TurnKey’s dataGen™, you can generate ERP and other application-specific test data from transactional history or your application’s metadata.
For truly comprehensive test data management, use dataGen to integrate with CA’s Test Data Manager (TDM) and you can synthetically generate data, mask it, subset it, make it do cartwheels, and send it back over to TurnKey to run the end-to-end business process validation.
Massively cut time, anxiety, and costs associated with testing your complex, highly customized ERP and enterprise applications, and get total control over continuous testing so you can have full confidence in your output. (And a full head of hair back.)
Intelligently randomize production of test data with application-aware defined business rules.
“This is huge, and is the main reason we contacted TurnKey Solutions. Our team just gained valuable time back to focus on continuous testing rather than fighting with spreadsheets all day long.”
It's This Simple
Modern Data Generation with dataGen™
We built a system smart enough to know how to navigate through your complex ERP and enterprise applications. It’s smart enough to know how to use your transactional history, how get to the meta data, how to keep the referential integrity, and how feed it into your automated testing solutions. Let us navigate the choppy waters for you, so you can release with smooth sailing.
Check out this handy chart to see what modern test data generation can do for you.
Modern Test Data Generation
Old School Test Data Generation
Generate thousands of comprehensive test data scenarios automatically using your own system meta data and data relationships.
Spend weeks manually creating error-prone test data and scenarios that will need to be manually updated when your process or data changes.
Run fully automated end-to-end scenarios, like Order-to-Cash or Hire-to-Retire, through multiple iterations, precisely matching your real-life business processes.
Run each business process separately and manually, every iteration of data for each object, then move to the next one, not following a typical business flow.
Keep referential integrity. Generate multiple test data scenarios automatically, or use dataGen’s selection mode to pick data direction from the application database. In either mode, test data is validated on-the-fly, directly against your applications data relationships, ensuring that test data scenarios work as expected. Every time.
Map out data dependancies manually, create test cases that try to hit all combinations of dependancies.
Data change happens. Now you can validate your test data before you run your tests, versus tracking down problems afterwards. Easily fix automatically-identified problems using pull-downs that present you with your application’s own valid data—no more frustrating, time consuming searches.
Run your tests. Examine bugs to find those caused by bad data. Search in the system for the correct data. Update the data in every single individual test case. Rerun and hope for the best.
Feed data directly into your automated tests, including your cFactory generated screen components and test cases.
Export your error-prone worksheets into your testing tool of choice (for 95% of companies, that means off-shore human testers according to Gartner).
Run tests.
Run tests. (See note above.)
Repeat as necessary (on autopilot or under your control). Go on about your day.
Take a much-needed overdue vacation. Take up meditation to mitigate your stress. Come back and start all over again.
