Press Release Body = Oxford, UK - April 5, 2006 - Grid-Tools, the test data
management experts, today announced the release of version 1.9 of its database test
data subsetting, anonymising and generation product, GT Datamaker. The new release
includes:
- The ability for standard test cases to be "inherited" allowing them to be used as
the basis of more specific test cases, saving considerable time during testing.
- Support for DB2 and MySQL, adding to the existing support for Oracle, SQL Server
and Sybase.
GT Datamaker is designed to automatically create data to aid testing of complex
database applications. It has a comprehensive database rules discovery tool
documenting database structures. It can either create data with referential and
application integrity or anonymise production data, cleansing it of personal and
confidential information to ensure compliance with legislation such as the Data
Protection Act and HIPAA.
The software is used in government and financial institutions where there are strict
rules on data privacy.
"The addition of DB2 and MySQL allows us to provide enterprises with one tool to
ensure compliance with data protection laws across all their test databases,"
remarked Huw Price, CEO of Grid-Tools. "A large amount of development budget is spent on testing application. GT Datamaker also provides the tools to reuse test
cases, saving significant time and thus increasing developer and tester
productivity."
