Compuware File-AID/CS 3.1 Simplifies Generation of Test Data; Provides IT Organizations With the Ability to Manage Sensitive Data and Deliver More Reliable Enterprise Applications
DETROIT--January 10, 2005--Compuware Corporation (NASDQ: CPWR) continues to strengthen its leadership role in addressing the data privacy challenge through enhancements to the Compuware File-AID product line. These enhancements save IT organizations' time and reduce the level of complexity associated with generating confidential test data without exposing sensitive customer information.
Compuware File-AID/CS 3.1 introduces an easy method of creating meaningful test data with minimal efforts and technical expertise. Development, quality assurance and database administration teams can generate the data they need--with the required volume--quickly and easily, regardless of the technology platform. This enables organizations to deliver more reliable enterprise applications and eliminate the risks of exposing personal client information when using customer data for application testing.
"With Compuware File-AID/CS, we have been able to demonstrate how easy it is to generate data, thus meeting the data scrubbing requirements setout by our own customers," said Ssonko Mbatha, Systems Engineer for Pramerica Ireland, a provider of technology solutions for the financial services industry. "We have a number of projects running on both the mainframe and client/server that will potentially make use of this added functionality."
Using File-AID/CS, development teams can populate fields with millions of unique names, addresses, social security numbers, phone numbers and many other values by using simple drag and drop functionality. Additionally, data can be generated from a pre-packaged data library of unique values or customized to reflect an organization's unique naming standards or conventions.
"Data privacy regulations and corresponding litigation are an increasing concern for today's enterprises and IT Managers," said Moungi Slim, Compuware File-AID/CS Product Manager. "Compuware File-AID/CS 3.1 gives users the flexibility they need to generate the required test data, helping them deliver higher quality applications while avoiding the exposure of sensitive production values in the testing process. This is another component of Compuware's strategic solution for managing data privacy issues on both mainframe and distributed platforms."
Compuware File-AID/CS provides extensive support for database technologies including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, DB2 UDB, Sybase, XML, VSAM, IMS and DB2 UDB for z/OS. In combination with Compuware QACenter, Compuware File-AID can help development teams inject more accountability into the software life cycle. An application can be validated--as it's being tested--back to the original business requirements. This combination of Compuware products also allows project teams to easily associate test requirements with specific data results as well as identifying progress against those requirements.
