About The Customer

A multinational tire company designs and manufactures tires for various vehicles, including airplanes, automobiles, bicycles, earthmovers, farm equipment, heavy-duty trucks, and motorcycles. The company operates globally, selling its diverse product line through retail channels and maintaining manufacturing facilities in distributed locations to streamline its supply chain. The company values innovation, environmental sustainability, and safety, with major manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Canada staffed by thousands of employees. As a digital enterprise, the company follows DevOps practices, transitioning monolithic applications to modular information systems using a microservices architecture.

The Challenge

The company needed to modernize its critical software testing platform, E2E, to support full-scale end-to-end testing for all integration applications. The platform required a transformation to become a fully automated framework capable of testing all messaging components exchanged by integration middleware. The QA team faced a significant challenge in generating high-volume test data with a wide variety of data patterns. The complexity of creating this test data was overwhelming, leading the team to spend as much time generating data as on actual testing. They needed a solution that could provide synthetic test data in volume and on-demand to support their continuous integration and testing processes.

The Solution

The company adopted GenRocket Test Data Automation (TDA) to address their test data challenges. After a successful Proof of Concept (POC), the QA team underwent training at GenRocket University to familiarize themselves with the platform. They learned to use GenRocket’s API to trigger Real-Time Synthetic Test Data Generation directly from the E2E testing framework. The team scheduled GenRocket TDA to generate on-demand test data continuously throughout a 24-hour testing cycle, specifying the volume and variability needed for their test cases. GenRocket’s component architecture, with over 250 Data Generators and 60 Data Receivers, allowed the QA team to generate synthetic data with control over format, variability, and volume. This data was then augmented with actual production data to create realistic messages for testing E2E. The integration of GenRocket into the company’s automated test environment resulted in more comprehensive testing, faster pace, and improved code quality.

Operational Impact

Test data can be provisioned in any pattern or permutation to control variability.
Synthetic test data can be generated in real-time and on-demand in any data format.
High volume data (e.g., millions of rows) can be generated in a matter of seconds.
Seamless integration with the E2E framework can be achieved using the GenRocket API.
The integration of GenRocket resulted in more comprehensive testing, faster pace, and improved code quality.
