Simplify Test Data Management

Secure application testing for quality and reliability has never been more important. Yet testing can be time consuming and expensive. How can you speed iterative testing, control costs and ensure test environments are secure?

IBM InfoSphere Optim offers comprehensive test data management capabilities for creating “right-sized”, fictionalized test databases that accurately reflect end-to-end business processes. You eliminate costly cloning processes and correct defects early in the development process – where they are cheapest and easiest to fix. Most importantly, InfoSphere Optim scales to meet your development and testing requirements, across applications, databases, operating systems and hardware platforms. Secure your test environments, improve quality, accelerate release cycles and reduce costs today, with InfoSphere Optim.

InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management Solution helps organizations by:

• Creating referentially intact, “right-sized” test databases
• Automating test result comparisons to identify hidden errors
• Easily refresh and maintain “production-like” test environments
• Shortening iterative testing cycles and accelerate time to market
• Masking cloned production data to ensure data is protected
• Streamline test data delivery through self service access

As organizations are looking to shorten iterative test cycles and accelerate time to market of applications, testers and developers need access to test data. Organizations are embracing agile development, which relies on agile testing. Agile testing means continuous access to test data in order to run tests and builds, and run them again until the functionality works.

InfoSphere Optim Self Service Center for Test Data Management integrates with InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management Solution to streamline test data delivery by enabling testers and developers to refresh and access test data that has already been masked and provisioned by DBAs. This speeds delivery from days, to minutes giving you more time to test and enabling release to be delivered more quickly.

The InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management solutions support heterogeneous enterprise environments including custom applications ERP solutions ( JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, Oracle E-Business Suite , PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel Customer Relationship Manager, SAP applications and more) and all platforms including Windows, Unix/Linux and IBM z/OS.
