description

QA teams can spend upwards of 50% of their time preparing test data. Not only is data management tedious and time consuming, it’s error prone and a security risk when working with sensitive customer information like Social Security and account numbers. Also, linking data to tests is a lengthy manual effort and provides no visibility into requirements coverage.What if you could cut your data prep time in half?You can, with HP’s Test Data Management. Come see how HP TDM attacks this problem area by:- Automating the extraction of production data by utilizing reusable extraction rules- Editing and properly masking data- Automatically populating target environmentsThen see how HP TDM integrates with HP Quality Center and HP Performance Center to provide data-driven test execution and analysis, and industry-leading requirements coverage.

Needs and Challenges

NEEDS

—Access to meaningful

data to test

—Extract relevant subset

of data and refresh

iteratively

—Reduce security

compliance violations

—Reduce time to prepare

test data

CHALLENGES—Limited or no access to

production systems

—Extracting subset of data

from distributed databases is

time consuming

—Unauthorized users

accessing sensitive data puts

business at risk

—Unable to reuse data in

different testing environments

Realistic data is needed to test multiple scenarios. Where is the data? In production or backup systems.

“With internal theft accounting for more than 70% of all data theft, test and development environments are often soft targets.”Forrester

“An insider attack against a large company causes an average of $2.7 million US in damages, where the average outside attack costs only $57,000 (Almost 50 times as costly).”Ernst & Young

Research

“Administrative costs for 1 TB of storage are five to seven times higher than the storage costs.” Dataquest/Gartner

Benefits for QA

HP Test Data Management

Streamlines data preparation phase prior to testing and provides a subset of realistic, de-identified, re-useable data for testing

Greater agility through accelerated application testing

Reduces the footprint and administrative cost of data storage for databases used in testing environments

Reduce costs for storage and data administration

Supports custom data-masking functions for any data type, enabling compliance with corporate data security policies

Maintain compliance and assure security for test data
