Data Repository

Managing test data is one of the major issues an organization faces. In order to perform full regression testing, a very strict set of rules must be applied over test data, and a regression testing tool is needed. Regression testing tools are typically based on recorded test scenarios, and the capability to rerun them when needed: after a delivery of a new version of an application, for example.

THE ARCAD SOLUTION

ARCAD-Verifier deals with these issues by providing embedded test data management features within the testing software itself. An ARCAD-Verifier scenario can include all the data needed, in the correct state, for execution. During the initial capture of a scenario, ARCAD-Verifier also captures all I/O done on the database. Later, when you rerun the scenario to do a regression test, we inject this data into a temporary environment that the Scenario will use. It can be rerun any time you need it.

THE ADVANTAGES

ARCAD Verifier scenarios are independent from one another. You can run just one or two scenarios targeting a specific area of your application, or, when a change is made,  let its powerful cross-reference features automatically collect, bundle, and run all related scenarios for a full regression test. It avoids the manual creation and management of many test environments, which can be time consuming, and often needs to be done several times during a testing phase due to data corruption. This unique data management feature alone gives you fast ROI on the initial cost of your regression testing software.
