Tackle Your Test Data Challenges

Robust software testing requires teams to think beyond happy path scenarios and smoke testing. Corner cases and unexpected inputs often uncover bugs in production when there isn’t thorough data-driven testing done prior to release.

With pressure on delivery deadlines, covering a sufficiently diverse set of test inputs from automated tests can be a time-consuming activity that gets deprioritized over time to market. These test data challenges are compounded when testing APIs because the inputs can be very complex and hierarchical in nature, which makes it very difficult to manage with traditional means (such as Excel).

Load Your API Tests With Test Data

Parasoft’s modern approach to test data management leverages a web browser and visual diagramming to modernize the test data management process. Parasoft’s test data technology extracts data from existing systems so you can quickly manage, mask, model, and generate additional data. With a self-service interface, you can easily reuse test data in your test cases, reducing the time you spend doing test data management.

How Does It Work?

Parasoft’s unique approach to test data management helps users rapidly get access to realistic test data to use in testing. Users can use data that has been recorded through the Parasoft ecosystem (or through external traffic sniffers like Wireshark or Fiddler) to easily generate data models, without having to learn any specific domain knowledge.

These data models can then be used to generate all sorts of new test data for your test cases. Accessed from a browser-based UI, enabling multiple team members to manage and manipulate the test data, users can collaborate and share data artifacts with the entire organization.

Benefit From the Parasoft Approach

Cover More of Your Application With a Single Test

Parasoft helps you build the most optimal library of test cases, by data-driving your test cases from the beginning. Then, load your tests by generating synthetic data, to get greater test coverage while reducing your test inventory.

Extend Your Existing Data

Load up your existing data in the Parasoft thin client, whether it comes from your databases, spreadsheets, or CSV files – it all works. You can then manage and extend the data sources by generating additional test data on top, and push that data back into your database, csv file, or into a test case.

Automatically Heal Your Data

Interacting with your application and storing data on the fly is a great way to validate changing data over time but getting your data back into the proper shape can be a challenge. Parasoft enables you to snapshot a golden state of your data, and then you can alter it through usage and reset it right back to its original starting point with a series of simple API calls.
