  • Test monitoring and control: continuously compare test progress with the plan, adjust the plan and testing activities as necessary, and provide status reports.

Subset production data: extract subsets of production data from multiple sources to meet test cases and/or to supply input values for data-driven testing. Create realistic test data sets small enough to support rapid test runs but large enough to accurately reflect the variety of production data.
  • Provide test data management. Script the setup of data in the application database to put it in a state that allows a specific set of test cases to be run against it. Script the creation of data files and message streams which require changing variables (usually date or timestamp related) in order to test applications which process them. Script database cleanups.
