Database testing tools: Gedis Studio tutorials

This page presents a collection of videos tutorials to dive into the features and benefits of using GEDIS Studio for producing your test data.

Since the end of 2011, there's a new version of GEDIS Studio running as a web application from our servers (GEDIS Studio Online). The basic principles of GEDIS Studio remain the same in the desktop and the online version. You can consider the tutorials below as applicable for the online version of GEDIS Studio even if some GUI components may look differently.

Hands on Demographic Control

	Learn how simple it is to master demographic control with GEDIS Studio. With this tutorial you will quickly learn how to configure and to analyze the generated data distribution of values.

Advanced Demographic Control

	This tutorial presents another way to gain control on the distribution of generated values. In this case study, the input data are extracted from a regular text file instead of manually entered. This is one of the very common ways to implement data distribution with GEDIS Studio : use publicly available data or production data to produce realistic test data.

Data Correlation and Cross-Dependency

	This tutotial presents how to design generators where fields have correlated values. For example, if the gender is male then the first name is randomly selected from the file containing all the male's first name. Or, if the age of the person is over 21 than there's 30 % of chances that it is a married person, while if it is under 21 there's no chance it is a married person.

Playing with Parameters

	Parameter is one of the awsome productivity features of GEDIS Studio. With parameters you can design generic generators for which configuration values are set differently at production time. Playing with parameters enforces reusability of the generators and simplify real-life projects where you have multiple users and usages for the same generator.

Managing Non Regression Test Data

	With GEDIS Studio there's no need for backing up test data for non regression. GEDIS Studio is able to reproduce the same data sample at any time from the same configurations. Besides, if your are concerned with non regression you will be happy to test your application with several different samples generated with the same test goals while being different.

Reusable Field Generator Using Import / Export

	This tutorial presents how to build a set of reusable basic generator rules playing with the import / export of field's generators. This way, you can share part of your designed generator with your colleagues or between data generation projects.

Generating from the Command Line

	This tutorial presents how to use the test data generator from script file and command line without relying on the GUI of GEDIS Studio. Doing so, you will be able to generate your test data on-demand at the very moment they are actually needed from your test scripts.
