DTF Overview
DTF is L&T Infotechs Open Source data validation and comparison framework that allows a user
to perform data-centric testing. Its simple User Interface (UI) enables users to easily configure
the tool as per their testing needs. The framework also provides detailed results of the test
cases enabling faster analysis of test results.
Execution Steps
Common test scenarios required for data conversion testing can be broadly classified into the
following categories:
Table/schema validation (includes the verification of indexes, stored procedures and trigger)
Count and data validation
Data character set conversion
File processing (In cases where the source is a file)
Batch job and business rule validation
Interface testing
Software Requirements
JRE 1.6
Microsoft Office
Windows Operating System
Hardware Requirements
1 GB RAM or greater
3 GHz CPU
Differentiators
Simple test script creation and execution
Tester productivity increased with improved quality of testing
Cost savings of 30%
Compressed testing cycle
Conclusion
DTF, the open source technology based framework that supports all databases currently
available in the market, creates detailed reports that help organizations identify defects and
take corrective actions based on the inputs. Enterprises are thus able to achieve cost and efforts
savings with enhanced test coverage through automation. Accurate, real-time information is
readily available to help in making informed decisions.
