The Complexity Of Test Data Management In ERP
Software Applications

• As readers and technical analyst, we are quite
  aware of the petty problems of the Test Data
  management.
• Every software company has been through TDM
  problems as small as fairy dust and as big as the
  Joker from Batman. No matter the size, in the
  end, problems have always been a hindrance in the
  quality of software.
• Until today, you were lurking around the common
  TDM problems, so this blog talks on a new topic.
• Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) is the
  centre of focus in the following excerpt. As most
  of the organisation's source help from this
  software, its presence is quite inescapable.
• Now to understand the solutions, we first need to
  dig in the specific fallbacks of the system.
• Lets get you down that lane!!!

Decoding the forms of Data Have you ever sourced
all your data from one single place? No.. So,
technically all your data received the from
manual approach or Test environment management
tool will come in different formats. But, life
would have been easier if decoding such formats
was easy. On top of everything, the ERP system
has a wide range of features. However, this
boon makes data conversion difficult and
time-consuming even with best data management
tools.

The Test Data The Need of the Hour If there is
a situation more complex than decoding, it is
probably making data available at the right time
and place. The testing teams of such large
software system are constantly wandering around
to improve their cycle of production. Lack of
fresh data, at the need of the hour, dysfunctions
many activities like the release, control,
environment, and delivery of the project.

Validating through Data Generation How to
believe if the test data extracted can be used
reliably for Software testing. Synthetic data
generation for validating test cases comes into
the picture. However, this a process which
requires in-depth knowledge of software norms.
Although various tools contribute to generating
such data, the skill of using such tools is quite
crucial. Masking Human errors with
Automation Automation enters the stage of
problems in the end. As technically the IT
environment management tools are used as problem
minimiser. However, issues with automation are
that traditional testing teams are not acquainted
with such modern tools. The complex functions
of the tools put the environment teams in
dilemma, as they face hurdles even in requesting
some of the simple services of automation.
