HCL OneTest Data overview

HCL® OneTest™ Data is an automated and customizable tool to generate the test data. HCL OneTest Data is one of the components of HCL OneTest Server and can be accessed as Data Fabrication in the HCL OneTest Server GUI.

You can generate the test data in various file formats such as Excel files, Native file, Comma-Separated Values (CSV), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and Extensible Markup Language (XML).

The test data is the core component of any application testing. Creating test data manually is very time-consuming. With HCL® OneTest™ Data generator, you can generate huge volumes of intelligent data to perform application testing without the risk of data leaks or privacy issues. The generated test data can drive the testing of any application by using HCL OneTest suite.

HCL OneTest Data provides the following capabilities:

Generates real-time data automatically.
Provides powerful built-in API to match the data with the generated datatype.
Supports flexibility to model the data.
Supports both single and multi-tenancy.

HCL OneTest Data provides the following benefits:

Protects data privacy.
Improves the efficiency and accuracy of predeﬁned data and real-time data generation.
Avoids extraction of real and potentially sensitive information from production system.

You can find more information about the tasks that you must perform to generate the test data by using HCL OneTest Data.
