Test data generation for sensitive personal data

The Datamaker product provides significant time and cost savings for large
organisations and enterprises where test data generation must be performed, and
where sensitive personal data is involved. The Datamaker product from Grid-Tools
allows developers and testers to generate test data, save test data within a central
repository and retrieve test data from a central repository.

"The tests showed significant system performance improvements for up to 500 users,"
explains Huw Price, Managing Director at Grid-Tools. "Good quality test data is
often the key to the success of new and existing applications". Being able to create
test data quickly for a range of test cases can save organizations time and money.
Huw continues, "GT Datamaker is an easy to use tool that lets organisations edit and
copy data between schemas as well as build related sets of table data which can then
be published to development and test databases."

Testing is often performed on copies of production data or poorly anonymised copies
of live data. The strength of Datamaker is that is builds a picture of how data is
related and then models existing data or builds new sets of test data. "When the
data is published organisations can substitute defined standard variables such as
financial year, payment type, location code, and so on, such that the test sets will
match current testing requirements," explains Huw.
