Key Savings Quantified in the ROI Model

  • 01 Reduction in test data creation
  • 02 Reduction in test data storage
  • 03 Improved productivity
  • 04 "Shift-Left" savings

01Reduction in test data creation

Reduction in test data creation and provisioning costs

With K2tdm, test data teams no longer need to manually search for, create, mask, and provision the data they need to satisfy their test cases. 

Organizations can reduce the time and effort required to provision trusted test data with capabilities such as inflight data masking, entity-based data subsetting, synthetic test data generation, and relational integrity. 

A typical organization can realize a 40-70% time savings in creating and provisioning test data.

02Reduction in test data storage

Reduction in test data storage and database costs

K2tdm uses subsetting and synthetic data generation techniques to create smaller, richer sets of test data.

Intelligent subsetting retains the critical characteristics and diversity of the complete dataset to ensure reliable testing results and can help reduce storage costs.

By creating synthetic test data, organizations can also reduce the amount of space required to store the test data.

03Improved productivity

Improved productivity and time to market for software development teams

Before implementing K2tdm, developers would have to wait an average of 21-25 days to get the test data they need

By implementing a test data management solution, the organization could cut up to 25% of the time-to-value of these application deliveries, due to quicker test data access and better data quality.

  • The yearly software costs for K2tdm include software license and support fees

  • Professional services were used for product training and for solution configuration consulting during a period of 3 months.

  • Additional storage hardware needed to implement the test data management solution (Not all organizations need additional storage to deploy K2tdm)

  • Internal support costs may vary depending on an organization’s environmental needs and complexities.
