Reduce bug reproduction time. Fix bugs in your IDE. Integrate Jira fully for complete test management.

Testing and managing test data for IBM i, IBM iSeries, and AS/400 systems requires thorough validation of complex applications, extending down to the underlying data. TestBench for IBM i offers a robust and reliable solution for test data management, verification, and unit testing, seamlessly integrating with other tools to ensure overall application quality. Instead of duplicating the entire live database, you can focus on the specific data that is essential for your testing needs. By selecting or sampling data while maintaining complete referential integrity, you can streamline the testing process. You can easily identify which fields require protection and employ various obfuscation techniques to safeguard your data effectively. Additionally, you can monitor every insert, update, and delete action, including the intermediate states of the data. Setting up automatic alerts for data failures through customizable rules can significantly reduce manual oversight. This approach eliminates the tedious save and restore processes and helps clarify any inconsistencies in test results that stem from inadequate initial data. While comparing outputs is a reliable way to validate test results, it often involves considerable effort and is susceptible to mistakes; however, this innovative solution can significantly reduce the time spent on testing, making the entire process more efficient. With TestBench, you can enhance your testing accuracy and save valuable resources.
