THE #1 SOURCE OF PRODUCTION PROBLEMS FOR ERP/CRM/HCM SYSTEMS IS DIRTY APPLICATION DATA

RainierAEV™ finds and helps you fix data problems before they get into Production

A scary statistic: Over 80% of all production issues in Enterprise ERP, CRM and HCM application environments is caused by bad or dirty application data^[1].  This includes Master data, such as org structures or employee records; Metadata like configurations and setups; and Transactional data like existing order records, credit scoring, employee leave dates, etc.  One or all of these types of data are used when an Enterprise application processes business transactions, and all data used has to be correct in order for the results of the transaction to be correct.  One wrong data element, or a combination of data elements that do not work together, and you get a wrong answer from your Enterprise system.  And the worst part about application data errors is how hard they are to locate in the first place.  Using a common example, if you are testing the processing of customer orders, most customer/order type combinations will process through just fine.  It is not until you hit the particular customer and order type combo that was setup wrong that you find an incorrect result.  This creates a needle-in-the-haystack problem, where you are looking for these individual, sporadic bad data combinations amongst your entire pool of data.  So how exactly do you address this problem and find these data issues before they impact your production environment and your users?

The answer: Data-Centric testing.  Data-Centric testing is the latest innovation in QA technology that allows you to mine your production data, protect it from unauthorized users via intelligent encryption, analyze it using Business Intelligence (BI) technology, and auto-create autonomous tests for strategically selected business operations and data types.  Data-Centric testing technology does the heavy lifting for you by mining and analyzing actual production data to determine what unique data combinations actually need to be tested, and which can be safely ignored.  Selected data combos are automatically turned into tests without the need for user interaction, and are autonomously executed as well.  You get both detailed and summary reports showing what business operations and data combinations passed inspection, which failed, and the exact reasons why.

RainierAEV™ is the industry’s first and leading Data-Centric testing solution, providing pre-built, out-of-the-box Solution Suites for most of the major ERP, CRM and HCM systems.  This includes Workday, Oracle E-Business Suite and Cloud Applications, SAP ECC 6 and S/4HANA, Salesforce, and much more.  RainierAEV™ also supports third-party and custom applications via its Machine Learning capabilities.  Best of all, RainierAEV™ is an Enterprise-level testing platform, allowing it to run complete end-to-end business processes that cross multiple application environments.  You get comprehensive test coverage for your business processes and data combinations across your entire IT application ecosystem.
