Data Generator

Enhancing Testing Efficiency​

Designed to simplify processes and enhance efficiency, Data Generators act as reliable assistants across various testing and demonstration scenarios.

The applications are designed exclusively for Konica Minolta

Key Benefits

Faster Testing – Saves validation time.

More Test Cases – Expands scenario coverage.

Easy to Use – Accessible for all users.

Team Support – Helps resolve testing issues.

Project Integration – Introduces Business Central functions.

New Feature Checks – Ensures thorough validation.

Beyond Integration: The Road Story

Unlike standard integration tools, Data Generators were built for full-fledged testing—providing a self-sufficient platform that eliminates reliance on external testing satellites. Traditional NAV auto-test environments fail to accommodate the external logic of third-party applications, which is why this tool was developed—to bridge that gap.

Versatile Applications

Integration Testing – Ensuring seamless compatibility across connected systems.

Customer Demonstrations – Showcasing functionality in real-world applications.

Automated Testing – Streamlining validation without manual intervention.
