Integration Testing with Synchronized Data Delivered by Perforce Delphix: Tutorial
Discover how to use synchronized data for integration testing with the Delphix DevOps Data Platform. This demo showcases how you can deliver production-quality, masked data to non-production environments using lightweight virtual databases (VDBs). Learn how Delphix enables your development and testing teams to accelerate application releases through powerful self-service data operations.
This video provides a comprehensive overview of how Delphix virtualizes data from multiple sources, including Oracle, SQL Server, and unstructured files, into a single, time-synchronized group. We demonstrate a complete integration testing workflow automated via APIs and orchestrated with Jenkins. You will see how to create bookmarks (backups), run destructive tests, and instantly roll back entire multi-application environments to any point in time, ensuring data integrity across all systems. By leveraging Delphix, you can provision full copies of your SIT environment on-demand, empowering your teams to test more efficiently and release software faster.
Key Features Demonstrated:
Synchronized Data Delivery: Align data from multiple applications to a single point in time.
Virtual Databases (VDBs): Create lightweight, full-featured data copies that consume minimal storage.
VDB Groups: Manage and operate on data from multiple sources as a single unit.
Self-Service Data Operations: Refresh, rewind, and bookmark data with API-driven automation.
Automated Testing Workflows: Integrate Delphix with CI/CD tools like Jenkins to streamline testing cycles.
