Secure and Automate Test Data Management (TDM)
Accurate test data improves application development and testing quality, which is why the most demanding application development teams require that their test data be populated from production databases frequently. It is not unusual for a Test Data Management (TDM) program to maintain six to eight full clones/copies of the production database for use as test and development instances. Without proper automation, provisioning test data is not only inefficient, time-consuming and storage intensive but it could also potentially expose sensitive data to unauthorized personnel leading to compliance risks.
Since the cloning process creates such resource drain and data governance challenges, test and development databases are often not refreshed frequently enough resulting in inaccurate test results or even test failures. And of course, the cost of application development increases as the errors are discovered later in the application development lifecycle.
Solix Test Data Management solution addresses all of the challenges mentioned above. It automates the creation of intelligently sized database subsets (not clones), that save up to 80% on storage space while still providing a syntactically correct copy of the production database needed to achieve the most accurate test results. Solix Test Data Management also features our Data Masking capability which helps DevOps teams to quickly identify sensitive data in the subsets and apply format preserving masking to ensure compliance and to protect against data breach.
