Best Test Data Management Tools for IRI FieldShield

Stop relying on confidential production data. Masked data may not be realistic or robust enough either. IRI RowGen uses your metadata and business rules to make better test data. Persistent or virtual test sets improve DB/ETL prototypes and speed DevOps. Use the high quality, high volume database, file, report or DataVault targets you create and populate with RowGen's graphical job wizards in in the IRI Workbench IDE (built on Eclipse) to stress-test and future-proof new software and systems. RowGen lets you customize data formats, volumes, ranges, distributions, and other properties on the fly or with re-usable rules that support major goals like application testing and subsetting. RowGen uses the IRI CoSort engine to deliver the fastest generation, transformation, and bulk-load movement of big test data on the market. You can also leverage RowGen functionality in CI/CD pipelines like GitLab, cloned DBs via Windocks et al, and purpose-built TDM hubs from Cigniti or ValueLabs.

The IRI Data Manager suite bundles the tools you need for faster data manipulation and movement: 1) CoSort makes light work of big data processing "heavy lifts" in DW ETL, BI/analytics, DB loads, sort/merge offload, etc. 2) FACT dumps very large database (VLDB) tables in parallel to flat files for ETL, DB migration, reorg, and archive. 3) NextForm performs and speeds file and table conversion, remapping, DB replication, data re-formatting, and federation. 4) RowGen subsets DBs or synthesizes structurally and referentially correct test data in tables, files, and reports. These IRI products address data integration and staging (ETL/ELT), big data packaging and provisioning, BI reporting and data wrangling (preparation) and DevOps. Use them alone or in the IRI Voracity platform to: improve data quality; speed sorting and data transformation; migrate and replicate data; replace legacy sorts; and, synthesize (plus virtualize) smart RDB and file test data.
