Abstract
Are you tired of lousy test coverage?
This presentation will show you how to obtain high test coverage
without all the hassle most organizations encounter.
See in a demo how CA Test Data Manager and CA Agile Requirements
Designer work together to help you build better test cases with better
coverage using better data!

Generation
Test Data on
Demand™
 Review data quality
and data errors
 Measure coverage
and identify gaps
 Discover relationships
 Identify sensitive data
across all systems
 Identify future trends
 Share data across
parallel teams
 Enable Self-Service
on demand access
 Provide multiple
outsources with
secure data
 Eliminate manual data
creation and masking
 Reduce costs and
improve quality with
short but rigorous test
cycles
 Improve test coverage

Synthetic Generation of Flat Files
 Create high quality test
data to test applications
that rely on non-relational
database sources.
 Generate synthetic data in
various formats including
XSD/XML, WSDL, RR pair,
JSON etc.
 Publish RR Pairs to a virtual
service via integration with
CA Service Virtualization

Overview of
CA Agile Requirements Designer

What is CA Agile Requirements Designer?
 Graphs sophisticated business processes
and path modeling.
 Defines and optimizes requirements and
test case designs
 Designs clear requirements, test cases,
and even data, in one flow charting tool
 Significantly improves the quality of
requirements and test cases.
 Reduces costs of testing by detecting the
smallest number of test cases that have
the maximum coverage, removes
duplicate or redundant test cases

CA Agile Requirements Design – Create perfect test cases
 Generate the smallest number of test
cases with maximum coverage
 Test more functionality in fewer tests
 Measure test coverage and know that
every requirement has been tested

Integration of TDM & ARD in a Broader
DEVOPS Use Case

Big Picture End to End Testing
 24 User Stories were identified in CA Agile
Central that describe the functional behavior
of flat file generation capability
 We modeled these stories using Agile
Requirements Designer, resulting in 1 Top Flow
and 6 Sub Flows
 ‘Full Coverage – All Paths’ option yielded
17,000 Test Cases. However, an optimal code
coverage of 70% was achieved using ‘Full
Coverage – All In/Out Edges ’ option resulting
in more manageable set of 450 Test Cases
 The Test Data was provided in context of each
model to drive the automation
 The Test Cases were automated by associating
a code snippet to each node on the flow so
that export of any path resulted in an end-end
automation

Demo of Use Cases

Today’s Demo
 Synthetically generate multiple XMLs using Test Data Manager
 Model the paths of the data generation use case using Agile
Requirements Designer
 Automate the data generation testing using the model from
Agile Requirements Designer
