Test Data Management
AscentialTestprovides a spreadsheet-like interface where the user can create data tables that have a direct relationship with application objects. Schema is created automatically as the user drags and drops application objects. Data objects of arbitrary complexity can be created using built-in and user-defined data types to match the data requirements of tests. Data validation reduces input errors. There are no drivers or type conversions required. Test data is available from a simple query in the type expected by tests:
- Build data structures and tables visually
- Import test data from .csv
- Project and plan level data available to provide for global data parameters
- Pick lists reduce input errors and save time inputting test data
- Data tables can contain complex data structures including lists and records
- Special encrypted data parameters available for passwords and other sensitive data
- Standalone applet available for editing test data
- Random data generation available
- Easy access to ODBC databases, ASCII, XML and INI files
