TEST DB2 APPLICATIONS TOGETHER!

Home > SoftBase Testing Solution Overview

BUSINESS CHALLENGES:

Application Developers and QA Personnel often fight for any available test data they can find and then frequently find that the data has already been compromised or corrupted.

Application Testers find they simply cannot run enough tests to properly verify all new SQL code or enhancements are working properly. Also, many companies are still using confidential production data for testing purposes - in spite of recent legislation that mandates removal of all information about real customers and employees from application testing environments.

TESTBASE: TESTING FASTER & TOGETHER

TestBase contains a patented "Slice" feature which allows Application Developers and Quality Assurance personnel to test new and enhanced DB2 programs at the same without affecting each other's results in any way.

Slice not only allows for concurrent testing, but Application Developers can now load and refresh their test data whenever they require.

DBAs appreciate TestBase Slice since there now is only one set of DB2 objects holding all test data - this greatly reduces the administrative overhead of building, populating, and synchronizing multiple test beds.

TestBase also accelerates DB2 application development in several other key ways:

DBAs and Data Administrators enter data models into TestBase to ensure both all DB2 referential integrity rules are enforced properly
Application Developers can now retrieve and refresh their own subsets of realistic test data without assistance from DBAs
TestBase provides powerful Data Comparison Reports that validate DB2 application code changes are working properly
TestBase can also easily remove and replace all sensitive data from DB2 mainframe testing environments - implementing a well thought out Data Privacy strategy is a snap

"TestBase has substantially reduced the time it takes us to test our DB2 applications. Not only do we finish testing our DB2 programs faster, but overall application quality has improved as well..."
