Data Comparisons in 2 Minutes
Automatically identify what data has been added to, removed from or edited in a database. Data compare from Test Data Automation provides deeper understanding of complex systems and rapidly tests database changes, minimising technical debt and avoiding bugs in business-critical data.
Are bugs lurking in your business-critical data?
Today, business-critical databases are growing increasingly historical, poorly documented, and poorly understood. Developers lack understanding of complex data relationships, so do not know which data will be updated by new or edited functionality. Bugs creep in during data development, migrations and integrations, as business-critical data is not updated correctly. Testing misses many of the devastating bugs, as UI and API tests do not validate changes rigorously at the database level. Testing is further slowed by run result analysis, as QA teams manually analyse copious volumes of actual results. To pay off technical debt and avoid critical bugs in back-end systems, testers, developers and BAs need tools to understand complex data and test rigorously at the database level.
Understand data, develop fast, and find database bugs early
Database Compare from Test Data Automation provides the understanding needed to develop and integrate business-critical databases, while rigorously testing changes made to databases and avoiding devastating back-end bugs. Testers, developers and automated tests can automatically compare databases before and after running a process at the UI or API level. They can uncover relationships in complex data and verify how back-end systems should work, while catching costly defects caused when critical data is incorrectly updated or not updated at all.
Snapshot comparisons and high watermark compares pay off technical debt associated with legacy and back-end systems. They uncover relationships in complex data and show which data will be updated by new functionality. This provides the confidence needed to modernise, migrate, and integrate with complex back-end systems. During testing and test automation, data comparisons further boost test coverage and observability, catching bugs that are missed by UI and API tests. The comparisons further automate test run result analysis, automatically comparing actual and expected results to accelerate QA. Database Compare provides the system understanding needed to develop quickly and avoid bugs, while testing rapidly and rigorously to catch bugs in business-critical systems.
Rapid, easy-to-create data comparisons
Watch the two-minute overview of Database Comparisons from Test Data Automation, to see how:
-
Database comparisons automatically identify back-end changes made by UI and API activity, building greater understanding of complex systems and rigorously testing at the DB level.
-
Multiple comparison techniques uncover interrelationships within data, providing the understanding needed to develop, integrate and migrate systems.
-
Data comparisons pay off technical debt associated with legacy systems, creating better requirements, better tests, and better code.
-
Comparing database snapshots during manual and automated testing increases test coverage and observability, validating database changes to find bugs missed by UI and API tests.
-
The data comparisons automate test run result analysis, automatically comparing actual and expected results to shorten testing cycles and accelerate delivery.
-
Granular reporting shows what data has been added, modified, or deleted by test and development activity.
-
The database comparisons are incredibly quick and simple to set up in Test Data Automation’s central portal, rapidly creating reusable comparisons for testing and development.
