Abstract
An optimized test data selection strategy references a sampling file that identifies data attributes that serve as the basis of the test data selection strategy. By analyzing fields and the corresponding field values of the sample imprint, a total number of test data selected for inclusion into a sample dataset is reduced. The test data selection strategy provides an efficient methodology for implementing a data comparison testing process.
Claims20
A computing device comprising:
- a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions configured to, when executed, cause a processing circuitry to:
- generate a first sampling file, the first sampling file including:
- a plurality of dimension fields and a line level portion, the line level portion including:
- a first quantity of dimension fields;
- and
- a header portion, the header portion including a second quantity of dimension fields, and wherein the second quantity of dimension fields exceeding the first quantity of dimension fields;
- receive a command input configured to receive a selection strategy instruction;
- adjust a quantity of dimension fields included in the plurality of dimension fields of the first sampling file based on the selection strategy instruction;
- and
- adjust a value of at least one of the plurality of dimension fields of the first sampling file based on the selection strategy instruction.
A method comprising:
- generating, by a processing circuitry, a first sampling file, the first sampling file including:
- a plurality of dimension fields and a line level portion, the line level portion including:
- a first quantity of dimension fields;
- and
- a header portion, the header portion including a second quantity of dimension fields, and wherein the second quantity of dimension fields exceeding the first quantity of dimension fields;
- receiving, by the processing circuitry, a command input configured to receive a selection strategy instruction;
- adjusting, by the processing circuitry, a quantity of dimension fields included in the plurality of dimension fields of the first sampling file based on the selection strategy instruction;
- and
- adjusting, by the processing circuitry, a value of at least one of the plurality of dimension fields of the first sampling file based on the selection strategy instruction.
