Generating test data made easy

BANGALORE, INDIA: Any software application that is being developed without proper amount of testing procedures involved is a definite recipe for disaster. With all testing procedures designed and implemented, it all comes down to software testers who test the application under realistic conditions. And if it's data driven testing, it is imperative to have real world data on hand. TestersDesk.com is handy online tool for software testers to generate test data for data driven testing.

TestersDesk

TestersDesk.com is a free online community edition, and could be termed as an online assistant for software testers. This platform offers a variety of tools and utilities that can help a software tester in various test functions. It has a toolkit for test design through which a software tester can reduce and select most probable test cases.

It also has a toolkit for test data generation, which can generate different types of test inputs ranging from user name generation to creating a file of definite size to test upload functionality of the application.

As we all know that by giving test inputs we can check the application for data and field validations. By giving negative test data the application can be checked for error handling as well. For instance, if the password is entered for logging in and it is displayed in the URL then it's a serious bug. To catch such bugs the application has to be tested with real data. And you cannot expect the software tester to come up with 1000 dummy user name and passwords, or 1000 email-ids to test the functionality of a web page.
