/24-7PressRelease/ - Oxfordshire, UK, August 30, 2008 - Facilita have now acquired the Grid-Tools Datamaker professional edition, strongly convinced this test data suite can offer them a wide range of functionalities to manage their test data requirements.
Using Datamaker, Facilita can now quickly and easily create accurate test data as and when they need it. They can likewise automatically create subsets of existing data and scramble/condition sensitive or personal data records.
With the infrastructure Grid-Tools Datamaker provides combined with the deployment of a centralized test data repository, Facilita is now able to use and re-use test cases whilst utilizing a wide range of powerful data manipulation features.
Facilita are also able to provide personnel within their company the ability to offer 'Test Data on Demand' to all of their users.
Generating Test Data - proving effective and successful for Facilita.
Facilita have in the past been reliant on generating test data the "traditional way" via making copies of production data or manually creating data. Traditional methods proved to be costly, time consuming and laborious for Facilita. Datamaker seemed to provide an obvious and compelling solution.
GT Subset, an element of the Grid-Tools' Datamaker Suite, now provides Facilita with a low cost method for rapidly extracting test data from their production database. Using the latest technology from database vendors combined with an easy-to-use front end, GT Subset allows definition of any relationships required to subset the data, as well as using existing database constraints.
Gareth Heaton, Senior Sales Consultant at Facilita, said, "Due to the sensitive nature of our solutions, testing procedures are necessarily rigorous, and this adds significantly to the overall application cost. GT Datamaker contributes directly to the quality and speed of the delivery of the final product, achieving the valuable 'double' of reducing costs and improving the quality of the test data we use for our testing. "
Huw Price, Managing Director of Grid-Tools, said, "Although GT Subset is a highly specialised tool, it's easy to use and performs a crucial function for anyone developing a modern data processing application. Today's databases are often full of complex interdependencies and applications are also increasingly sophisticated, meaning that test databases need complete integrity and test data needs to be a proper representation of live data if the application is ever to work properly in the real world."
Gareth Heaton, Senior Sales Consultant at Facilita added "The test data generation and depersonalisation features of GT Datamaker will also remove our headache, as we can easily demonstrate compliance with data protection rules. GT Datamaker's test case repository would also allow us to re-use datasets, improving productivity even further."
