All about Test Data
management and its tools

• The world of technology is updating every passing
  year. The technical terms are increasing rapidly.
  
• Testing is one of the essential activities to
  practice for software development. The Test Data
  Management is the operation of important data
  which accomplishes the requirements of automated
  test processes. It assures the quality of the
  data and its availability at the right time.
• What is the test data?
• Test data is used to check the data of software
  applications. For instance, to test the login
  function, username, and passwords are required.
  So the content of usernames and passwords is test
  data.
• What is test data management?
• Test data management is a process through which
  we suffice the test data requirements. It
  consists of high-quality data with the right
  quantity and format.

• Effective administration of information used for
  testing is important to enhance the testing
  efforts and boost profitability for the highest
  levels of accomplishment and inclusion.
• It permits the software quality-testing to
  control the data, file, rules, and regulations
  created during the software testing life cycle.
• One of the main objectives of test data
  management is to reduce and filter the size of
  software testing data and to collect and
  centralize software testing documentation and
  resources.
• How does it work?
• 4 main TDM techniques engage software testing
• Investigating the test data.
• It approves the test data.
• Building test data to recycle.
• Robotizing TDM tasks to fasten the procedure.

• Advantages of Test Data Management
• It hinders big fixes and rollbacks.
• It makes better quality software that will
  perform reliably on arrangement.
• Decreases the data refresh cycle.
• Tailored test data to various kinds of testing -
  Functional, Integration, Performance, Security
  and more.
• Makes a more cost-effective software organization
  process.
• Decreases the organizations security risks
• Increases connections and efficiency by giving
  decision-making tips over the whole organization.
  
• Recognizability of test data to test cases to
  business necessities assists with understanding
  the test inclusion just as a deformity pattern.
• Below are some of the Test Data Management tools

4. IBM Infosphere IBM InfoSphere Optim tool
provides on-demand service facilities with
built-in workflow. Its feature helps in constant
testing and vigorous software development. It
offers real-time data testing and right-sized
test databases that optimize and automate the
procedure of test data management. The tool will
help you increase the speed of the application
development process of the companies, which
reduces cost but continues to speed application
delivery. As demanded by developers and testers,
it will analyze and provide the refresh test
data. 5. CA Test Data Manager CA test
Data Manager is another preferred tool offering
high synthetic data generation solutions. Its
design is very flexible with simple functions of
testing. It is a special product of CA
technologies and provides data makers of Grid
tools. The tool offers high-performance data
subsetting, masking, matching, and generating,
storing, and recycling data in a test data
repository.

Test data management is not only in trend, but
it is a procedure your company can master and
improve. As and when you understand the
fundamentals of test data management and put them
into practice, you may realize to take one step
further. Every new cycle will bring new
challenges to combat with a new test environment.
