Test data self-service
A proof of concept for requesting test accounts through APIs and a browser interface.
The system at a glance.
A conceptual view of the flow and its boundaries.
The challenge.
Testers needed accounts with specific features in a selected environment without depending on production-data copying.
My contribution.
Worked on the proof of concept through requirements, Java web development, service integration and demonstrations.
Implementation.
- Developed browser views and Java application components for the prototype.
- Integrated WS-Security-based web services and modeled feature-driven use cases.
- Created build scripts, test cases and application demonstrations.
Design decisions.
Test-account creation should be explicit about environment and requested capabilities.
A proof of concept establishes feasibility; production scale and reliability require separate work.
Validation.
Prototype test cases, debugging and client demonstrations supported feasibility evaluation.
The outcome.
Demonstrated a self-service approach to test-account preparation.
