RowGen

Test Data

RowGen generates rows ... billions of rows of safe, intelligent test data in database, flat-file, and formatted reports targets ... without needing production data!

RowGen synthesizes and populates accurate, relational test data in the same table, file, and report layouts used in production. RowGen uses the metadata you already have (or create on the fly) to randomly generate structurally and referentially correct test data, and/or randomly select data from real sets.

RowGen allows you to customize data values, formats, volumes, ranges, distributions, and other properties on the fly, as re-useable rules, or later -- with or without its free Eclipse GUI. RowGen's use of the IRI CoSort engine also delivers the fastest generation, transformation, and bulk-load movement of big test data on the market.

RowGen was designed by data modeling, integration, and processing experts to save time and energy in the creation of perfect, compliant test data sets in modifiable table, file, and report formats. With RowGen, you are immediately ready for development, benchmarking, and outsourcing.

Feature & Benefit

Feature	Benefit
Fast generation of billions of sorted rows	Creates data for full VLDB, EDW and ODS testing
Random data generation purely from metadata	Reduces complexity and risks from production data
Random selection of real data for testing	Enhances realism while still de-identifying PII
Easy-to-use 4GL and Eclipse GUI with wizards	Little to no learning curve and automatic job design
Generation metadata serialized in text scripts	Jobs are easy to modify, deploy, and re-use
Parses DB DDL and /or DDF metadata	Reduces errors and preserves metadata investment
Preserves referential integrity	Test data reflects production database/query behavior
CoSort engine inside	Simultaneous transformation, pre-sorting, report/format
Custom data formats, value ranges, report formats	Enhances realism when testing applications

IRI CoSort Use Cases

"RowGen generates 20GB tables with referential integrity for query testing. It eliminates production data access concerns and generates the volumes that reflect our growth."

"RowGen is the only tool that supplies high volumes of test data on multiple operating systems and simultaneously manipulates the test data for application compatibility."

"RowGen creates realistic PII and PAN data to support our OLTP app development and testing. It's the only tool that generates test files in the formats and sizes we need."
