SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING PRODUCTION-QUALITY DATA TO SUPPORT SOFTWARE TESTING

摘要

Providing data as part of a testing regime for computer software. Random data values can be automatically generated to support the testing of any type of computer software that operates on data as part of its function. This random generation (270) of data values can provide a breadth of data needed to fully stress the software program being tested (210). Data of any type can be provided to a testin regime and individual data elements may be related such that the provided data reflects realistic situations. Data can be extracted fro data tables and/or generated through operating a function designed to generate a specific value type (290).
