Data Express

Reduce the cost and risk of managing test data

Micro Focus Data Express™ enables test and development professionals to accelerate test efforts at lower cost while meeting data privacy regulations. Its powerful management tools automate the entire test data lifecycle – from data extraction through to loading the test environment.

Data Express is designed to manage the test data environment; improving test results, lowering testing costs, securing customer data from loss or misuse and enable accelerated delivery and privacy compliance.

Improve tester productivity
Data Express automates the generation of test data environments, so elapsed time is reduced by up to 80%. Testing personnel are freed up to address the testing queue.

Protect customer data
By obscuring sensitive information, test data retains its value for testing while keeping it safe from unauthorized use.  By ensuring that referential integrity is preserved in the extracted data, the realism of test data sets is maintained. Customized masking techniques can be developed and reused.

Improve test data management
Data Express provides a single repository of knowledge about the test data, and offers a wealth of management tools to ensure that test managers can control the repeated generation of test data. 

Reduce storage costs
Data Express minimizes the consumption of bandwidth, processing and storage, eliminating up to 90% of test data storage, which reduces the need for storage hardware and eases processing requirements, while providing rich test data sets.

Makes real-world data available for testing

Ensures that tests are comprehensive and valid

Automates masking of data

Confronts the security and regulatory risks of using live data. Prevents customer sensitive data from being exposed to avoid breaching privacy rules.

Supports a diverse array of data types

Relational, hierarchical and sequential files can all be tested, ensuring test coverage across the environments that reflect the real-world application. 

Unique Class mechanism to mask database field or column nameRelated fields from diverse data sources can be associated to a common class, even if named differently, to give a more generic, productive, consistent and safe approach to data masking.
  • "With (this solution), we are able to remove all duplication and error from our test environment. It will save us literally terabytes of storage space, and reduce our overall test generation effort by up to 90%."
