Overview of Data Provisioning

TCS MasterCraft DataPlus is a powerful data generation tool to sort and generate the data. Volume Data
Generator is one of the TCS MasterCraft DataPlus services which allows you to use data transformation
techniques to create the appropriate data you require to work on your application.

Using intelligent data transformation profiling techniques, TCS MasterCraft DataPlus understands how the
data is related and creates appropriate data for all the operations. This also enables you to quickly create the data
you need. The test data you can avail to perform efficient test cycles. You can detect the defects easily and
provide quality software quickly with efficient test cycles.

Whenever there is a varied need of data among geographically distributed users and data sources, production
systems those are accessed by variety of systems and applications, the data provisioning sorts the data as per the
requirement.
Data Provisioning enables you with a comprehensive Test Data Management capability to generate and
provision large volume of test data in a governed and automated mode. It also provides controlled test data
management through test data request workflow, test data archival, test data reservation, and test data versioning.

Provisioned data can be used for data-driven testing which helps to test and verify the application with many
different sets of test data. For data-driven testing direct use of production data compromises data privacy norms
and using synthetic data demands near perfect knowledge about data semantics which is not readily available.
Also using scripts for generating data for complex schema is nearly impossible and the approach is not
repeatable. TCS MasterCraft DataPlus is the unique tool that combines the best of the above approach and
eliminates their individual drawbacks. The tool generates any volume of data from a relatively small volume of
Seed Data using intelligent data transformations.

TCS MasterCraft DataPlus provisioning services focus on preparation and management of data for software
applications. It is an integral part of IT operations and helps applications by providing quality data. Data
management involves creation, archival and retrieval of data from archive. It also involves management of
related entities and stakeholders such as privacy laws, environments, tools and servers, users and so on. These
functions ensure standardization of processes, reuse of data, integration of QA environments, various privacy
regulations, users of different roles and data preparation tools from multiple vendors. TCS MasterCraft
DataPlus offers a standardized process to create and manage the data effectively with a clear focus to enable
reuse through archival. It provides extensible architecture which allows integrating data preparation tools, which
allows to work with the off-the-shelf tools or custom scripts in inter-operable way. This helps the organizations
to use the existing/available data preparation tools along with the benefits of efficient data management.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) understands the challenges to manage the voluminous data and designed a

tool called TCS MasterCraft DataPlus, to create a standardization of data requests process.
It offers following features:

Provide data archival


Provide data versioning

TCS MasterCraft DataPlus application enables you to maintain the required copies of data and required size
of data in the test environments. The privacy polices help to detect the sensitive fields in the test environments
as per the policy and ensure better privacy compliance for all the test environments in an organization.
