Test Data Generation
First Claim
1. A method for generating test data comprising:
- receiving seed data having one or more characteristics;
obtaining a selection criterion indicating a selected portion of the seed data to be transformed; and
transforming the seed data for at least a plurality of iterations to generate test data, wherein the test data comprise a plurality of data sets including a primary data set generated in a first iteration and a secondary data set generated in each subsequent iteration such that the primary data set includes transformed data corresponding to the selected portion of the seed data and non-transformed data corresponding to a remaining portion of the seed data and each secondary data set includes transformed data corresponding to the selected portion of the seed data.

Abstract
Systems and methods for test data generation are described. In one implementation, the method includes receiving seed data having one or more characteristics. Further, the method includes obtaining a selection criterion indicating a selected portion of the seed data to be transformed. Based on the selection criterion, the seed data is transformed for at least a plurality of iterations to generate test data. The test data comprise a plurality of data sets including a primary data set generated in a first iteration and a secondary data set generated in each subsequent iteration. The primary data set includes transformed data corresponding to the selected portion of the seed data and non-transformed data corresponding to a remaining portion of the seed data and each secondary data set includes transformed data corresponding to the selected portion of the seed data.
