About The Customer
The customer is a major insurance company diversified into various insurance categories, including life, health, accident, critical illness, dental, vision, disability, and related products such as annuities and retirement planning. Their insurance products cater to both individuals and families, as well as businesses and organizations. The company manages over 100 applications with complex data structures that require continuous testing to maximize quality and minimize time to market. They had been using a traditional Test Data Management (TDM) platform to provision test data for testing a variety of insurance applications. However, the TDM solution was proving to be costly and complicated, and manually provisioned test data had become a bottleneck as they streamlined their software development process into a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline.
The Challenge
The insurance company faced challenges with their traditional Test Data Management (TDM) platform, which was costly and complicated. The manual provisioning of test data became a bottleneck as they streamlined their software development process into a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline using Jenkins. The TDM solution was too cumbersome to keep pace with the accelerated speed of development. They needed a more nimble process allowing testers to generate any kind of test data on-demand with a simple self-service provisioning model. The goal was to replace the TDM system and its centralized provisioning process with a more automated, cost-effective, and decentralized approach.
The Solution
GenRocket integrated its Test Data Generation (TDG) engine with the Jenkins CI/CD server and its automated test environment. The integration allowed for real-time synthetic test data generation into the CI/CD pipeline, enabling continuous end-to-end testing. The Jenkins pipeline starts and calls the GenRocket Engine using the GenRocket API, which then runs a test data Scenario to generate the data. The GenRocket Scenario specifies the type of patterned and conditioned test data needed and is based on a data model that represents the production data. Jenkins then consumes the test data and executes the appropriate test scripts. This process is seamless, easy to configure, and completely automated. Additionally, GenRocket Scenarios can be called via an automation framework like Selenium, and the GenRocket API can be used to modify GenRocket Scenarios in real-time for each test case. GenRocket can populate the required data sources in the format required by the test cases.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
