So long, large test data environments
How might your IBM i testing look if you didn’t have to rely on large datasets to maintain referential integrity? You could definitely test faster as you wouldn’t have to process enormous datasets. You could also spend less time hunting for the important data afterwards to see if your test was successful. You might even have space for more test environments, further speeding up testing or increasing test coverage.
Define, sample, execute, feel great
The TestBench Data Extraction module automatically creates subsets of your production data that:
- Include all the data scenarios you need to test
- Maintain database integrity, so the data behaves as it would in real life
You can then test those subsets with complete confidence that you aren’t missing a trick.
Unpacking our data extraction module
Data Extraction Definition
Automatic database analysis
TestBench automatically understands how your database is structured and builds a data model that maintains referential integrity.
Data selection
Select data based on specific field values to create subsets of data. You can even select data based on related values in other files.
Data sampling
Easily refine your data subset to include all the data scenarios you want to test.
Data Extraction Execution
Replicate your database structure
Create logical files, triggers, and constraints to make your data subset truly representative of your database.
Update dataset
Replace or add data to your dataset to enhance your test data environment.
Use data from multiple locations
TestBench can extract data from IASPs as well as local or remote IBM i servers, so you can test with confidence no matter where data is stored.
Alter data during extraction
By making changes to your data as you extract it, you can add context to your test data to ensure it’s as useful as possible for your test.
Why use TestBench?
TestBench is your first port of call if you need to test anything based on IBM i.
-
Powerful but elegant
