Next Level Test Data Generation

Continuous Integration has redefined our testing practices. Testing has become more focused, efficient, and re-positioned further upstream in the development life-cycle. Unfortunately, our testing systems haven't evolved in lock-step - specifically the provisioning of realist test data.

It remains common practice to extract, cleanse and load production data into our non-production environments. This is a lengthy process with serious security concerns and still doesn't satisfy all our data content requirements. What if there is a better way of providing realist test data? What if it could be generated on-demand as part of the Continuous Integration process - without the heavy databases and traditional batch jobs?

Come join us in a journey as we walk through the concepts, building blocks, and implementation of the lightweight Test Data Generation package that addresses this automated testing niche.
