Abstract
Your testing teams need data, and fast! Learn how test data on
demand solutions from CA Technologies will solve your problem
of slow, manually created test data. This 90 minute presentation
will show you how multiple teams can access data through CA
Test Data Manager’s web interface to access data whenever and
wherever they need it.

Problem Statement
§ How can I find & reserve unique test data so that no one can
accidently overwrite my data?
§ Can my testers access the test data within their tools?
§ How can I generate the missing data needed to test my
systems?

Data On Demand Use Cases
1. Reserve hard to find data via
Test Match integration with CA
Agile Central (aka Rally)
2. Clone the missing data from
Production to the QA
environment
3. Enable synthetic generation of
application objects via Tester
Self Service

Overview - Synthetic Data Generation
§ Support for registration of hierarchical
files including XML,XSD, JSON, WSDL
etc., CSV and GTExcel
§ Comprehensive data generation
support
§ Swagger enabled APIs to enable
interactive documentation, client SDK
generation and discoverability.
Register objects so that you can perform various data manipulation operations

Overview - Test Match
§ Uses powerful data mining functionality
to quickly identify, mine and link data to
automated test cases, from multiple sources
§ It helps the test engineers to find the right
data in their testing and development
environments
§ Additionally provides an ability to link the
test case with the actual test data via
integration with HP ALM and CA Agile Central
Enables agile team members submit data reservation requests

Overview - Tester Self Service
§ New self-service interface that lets
Testers dynamically request, reserve
and obtain the data they need to
execute test cases
§ New Job Engine that enhances the
performance and eliminates the
dependency on Remote Publish Engine
§ Time-Based Request Scheduling
§ Publish-Level Repeat Count
Enables agile team members submit data reservation requests

Use Case 1: Reserve hard to find data via Test Match

Summary
§ Test Match integration with CA Agile Central allows testers to
find and reserve unique test data in the right quantity and in
the right test environment
§ CA Test Data Manager can be used to generate synthetic data
either by cloning from production environments or by
leveraging the rich data generation functions
