    Knowing that each project and each client can have different scopes based on the features required, in general, what are the generic steps for implementing a project of Test Data Manager? 

     

    Thanks for your participation

    Hi Luis,

     

    Here are the steps on how to implement a project in Test Data Manager: Create a Project - CA Test Data Manager - 3.6 - CA Technologies Documentation  

     

    After you create the project, what you choose to do with the project (Data Generation, Masking, Subsetting, etc.) is up to your team and how you plan to use Test Data Manager. 

     

    If you have any other questions on what to do next, please review our documentation (TDM Docs) or check out our video page for further training (TDM Videos).  

     

    Best regards,

    Taylor

    Hi thanks for your answer. However, my question is directed is to the phases of project planning level. That is, Is there a generic route to show the customer how we will perform our approach? Surely we start with a phase information gathering, but then what would be the milestones to consider as deliverables? 

     

    In advance thank you very much for your time.

    Hi Luis, 

     

    Each milestone or deliverable can be customer specific to how they would like to utilize Test Data Manager. After getting Test Data Manager installed and configured, it is really up to the customer how next they would like to proceed using the product. This part of the documentation explains that a little: Understand CA Test Data Manager - CA Test Data Manager - 3.6 - CA Technologies Documentation  

     

    CA TDM provides the functionality to achieve the following objectives:

    • Connect to production data sources
    • Profile, subset, and mask production data for testing
    • Manipulate the data to meet coverage and test matching requirements
    • Publish the data to a test data warehouse
    • Request the data for testing from an on-demand interface

     

    If this does not answer your question, please reach out to your CA Account Manager and they will review the information we provide to customers about this with you.

     

    Best regards,

    Taylor
