Test data management tools – new database shrinking tool
Grid-Tools have announced the inclusion of their database shrinking tool,
DataShrink, into the \'GT Datamaker Complete Testing Tool-Set\'. DataShrink is now
offered to IT testing departments as either a separate tool for shrinking major
databases (particularly Oracle\'s E-Business Suite), or available as part of the
Datamaker complete test suite.

Tools to improve data testing efficiency
GT Datamaker editions offer test data generation to create accurate test data, data
masking, data scrambling, data modelling, data quality assurance, subsetting,
database compare, a test data warehouse and ‘Test Data on Demand\'. With the launch
of their new product, DataShrink, Grid-Tools have come full circle with their suite
of testing tools. The entire suite provides a successful and compelling proposition
to companies looking to improve testing efficiency, reduce IT expenditure, ensure
legal compliance and add essential infrastructure to their testing methodologies.

Grid-Tools DataShrink has a highly convincing list of features including overall
reduced disk space, which implements faster run times in testing and development
databases. The tool also helps to remove redundant data tables built up over time,
which can make the testing process sluggish and inefficient. DataShrink is also
highly adaptable, as specific databases can be created for different purposes (i.e.
training and upgrade tests).
