InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management Solution for Custom and Packaged Applications

Create, optimize, automate and manage data in nonproduction environments

The IBM® InfoSphere® Optim™ Test Data Management Solution for Custom and Packaged Applications helps you optimize and automate processes that create and manage nonproduction environment data: testing, development and training. Development and testing teams can create test databases scaled to your operation, while protecting data privacy by applying masking routines to the data. This solution offers features that provide “before” and “after” testing with speed and accuracy to save valuable processing time.

The InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management Solution enables you to:

Create test databases scaled to your operation—you can develop smaller, realistic subsets that accurately reflect the data production for faster testing.
Automate test results to identify hidden errors—after a test run, the software analyzes the “before” and “after” images of the data, automatically detecting any differences and presenting the results in a report, saving you hours of manual inspection.
Easily refresh and maintain test environments—streamlined test databases are also easy to manage and maintain, enabling you to accelerate testing cycles and shorten the time needed to deploy new applications.
Shorten test cycles, accelerate time-to-market—faster, more accurate testing drives errors from your applications and gets your product to market sooner.

Create test databases scaled to your operation

Use a single, scalable solution across applications (Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel CRM, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, SAP, AmdocsCRM), databases (IBM DB2®, IBM Informix®, Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, XML) and platforms (Microsoft Windows, UNIX/Linux, IBM z/OS®).
Consolidate data from multiple applications to create a test environment that accurately reflects business processes.

Automate test results to identify hidden errors

Edit data to create error and boundary conditions.
Compare baseline data against test results to identify errors and improve application quality.

Easily refresh and maintain test environments

Save data extracts for quick and easy refresh test environments.
Help ensure complete test coverage by applying selection criteria.

Shorten test cycles, accelerate time-to-market

Minimize the storage footprint of test environments to cut costs, while targeting your application with thorough, faster test cycle times.
Deliver high-quality, tested applications that meet or exceed project deadlines.
