Consistent Test Data –
Perfect for agile teams and DevOps workflows
In the world of agile and DevOps, the old wisdom ‘the right test data, at the right time, in the right quantity’ is becoming increasingly important. In view of the increasing requirements for automation and quality, it is essential to have high-grade and immediately available test data.
TriDator – Enabler for DevOps and the cloud
Test data is often not available when it is needed. Especially in the agile and DevOps world, where almost 100% automation is achieved in software development, test data is a problem and slows down testing. The manual search for test data or lengthy provisioning have no place in the cloud, which is dominated by technologies such as microservices, containers and Kubernetes.
With the TriDator Framework, you can close the automation gap and clear the way for DevOps and the cloud.
The agile world is characterized by automated pipelines and parallelization of processes. Test data, as it is traditionally created and managed, slows down automation. The advantages of agile software development and modern technologies for the cloud therefore cannot be fully utilized or are unnecessarily slowed down.
CI/CD Integration
The software development process is driven by pipelines. Checking in code triggers automated processes for code analysis, compilation and finally software testing. The TriDator framework integrates itself into all CI/CD pipelines and utilizes its advantage of automatic test data processes.
100% Degree of Automation
Processes in DevOps or in the cloud are very fast. Almost 100% automation is achieved and thus also requires automated processes for test data. When a pipeline starts and new tests are executed, test data must always be available. With TriDator Framework, you can close the automation gap for test data.
DevOps Transformation
The test data process can also be optimized with the TriDator framework in classic projects that are not yet agile or have limited or no automation. By automating the test data processes, you lay the foundation for a transformation into the agile or DevOps world – with TriDator, your test data is even DevOps-ready.
What is TriDator?
Redefine your test data management with our innovative framework. Similar to an ETL tool, it enables you to effortlessly create, process and provide test data into various targets. Whether anonymization of real data or the synthetic generation of test data – our flexible platform offers a wide range of functions.
Thanks to the support of all common technologies for sources and targets, there are no limits to your possibilities. In addition, our framework allows easy customization of almost all functions according to your individual requirements.
The framework can be integrated into existing environments and workflows, such as CI/CD pipelines. You have the freedom to choose how you utilize the TriDator framework.
The test data process with TriDator: Data is extracted from sources, transformed and then loaded into the targets. All common technologies are supported as DST (data source/targets).
TriDator Features
The TriDator framework is more than just a collection of features. It supports all the operations required to generate test data and can map the processes involved in the provision and management of test data.

TriDator use cases
Synthetic test data over night
For a production-related test, a logistics company needs extensive test data every morning that matches specific scenarios and the conditions of the infrastructure (e.g. hand scanners).
Subsetting of all systems for acceptance test
A insurance company requires test data from all connected peripheral systems for their user acceptance test. For subsetting, selected attributes are required to identify the related information.
Test data for realistic load profiles
A company in the sales sector has already automated technical tests. Meaningful load profiles in the form of user data and interactions with the sales platform are required for the performance test.
Provision test data in pipeline by tester
One financial services provider has already automated the generation and provision of test data. As a self-service approach, testers should be able to order and retrieve their test data via the pipeline.
