Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Test data generation and scale up for database testing using unique common factor sequencing can include selecting a column of a table for which test data is needed and generating test data for the column that replicates cardinality characteristics of an existing production dataset and that includes a local predicate of a workload.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: selecting a column of a table for which test data is needed; and generating test data for the column that replicates cardinality characteristics of an existing production dataset and that comprises a local predicate of a workload. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the column is a key column and is joined to a partially populated dimension table, wherein generating test data for the column comprises: calculatin…
