Data generation tool automates testing of software
From OpenPR
Grid-Tools Limited, a leading vendor of test data management and information lifecycle management software uses its data generation tool to enable sQuidcard to meet a tight launch deadline for its e-Money alternative to cash and debit cards. sQuidcard is a leading e-Money alternative to debit and credit card networks, and is set to become the product of choice for sub £10 tap-and-go transactions.
When rolling out a solution of this complexity to millions of card holders and potentially handling tens of millions of transactions a year, sQuidcard had to be certain that the data underlying the system was tested to the limit.
“The e-money payment network is launching in May,” explained Barry Williams, the Commercial Director of sQuidcard, “but we had to be certain that it could scale to handle millions of customers and transactions.” At the heart of the problem was a tight delivery schedule for developing the solution, and the need to test it rigorously. “In our testing, we had to simulate a situation where sQuid had been in existence for a number of months, or years.” sQuidcard neither had the time to key all this data in by hand, nor the capability to generate realistic data on a large scale to test the system under a diverse range of scenarios.
Automated data generation and testing was the solution.
