How to create test data faster and for all systems at once
Challenge

Every change brings a risk of a system malfunction. To prevent it, they need to perform detailed testing of the entire information system. An error in one part of the system can have an impact on another part of the system and can cause damage.
Existing standard test data generation tools cannot meet the individual needs of the system and business logic. For this, creating test data was challenging and time-consuming for the entire team.
Solution
The RESULT team of software specialists helped to develop an integrated system for the creation of test data for SIXT Leasing. The application enables the users to quickly create test data for any step within the business process and all related information systems.
All of this was done in an intuitive, user-friendly manner, independently of various software tools and with no need for a technical understanding of the processes.
TECHNOLOGIES USED

There is no need to master various software tools solely for test purposes because of a very easy and user-friendly interface.
