Software testing is difficult: software continues to evolve at a rapid pace, as does the need for high quality and reliability in software from both a usability and a governance perspective. This means that software testing must be fast enough to keep up with development, while being thorough enough to satisfy stringent quality requirements.

We last covered Trovares in 2019, when it had only just come out of stealth mode. At the time, we were impressed by the performance of its in-memory property graph engine, its capacity for query processing on extremely large graphs, and its adoption by large companies and (we strongly suspected) government agencies.

Vector and vector-compatible databases (which is to say, databases with vector capabilities, that may or may not be multi-model) are designed for storing, searching, and otherwise operating on vector data. Although they have seen a recent surge in popularity because they are well-suited to working with GAI and LLMs, they have actually been around for quite some time.

We live in a world entranced by generative AI. It is almost impossible to get away from it: it has truly broken into the mainstream. Even the proverbial person on the street knows of it, although they might not know much about it. In the business world, almost everyone wants to implement generative AI as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. But there is still a lot of confusion about what, exactly, generative AI is, how it works, and how it can best be utilised.

Test Data Manager sits on top of the core Enov8 Application Portfolio Management layer, alongside Release Manager and Environment Manager. As its name implies, it is designed to help you manage your test data, addressing common issues like test data bottlenecks, privacy, and so on. It accomplishes this by using automation to simplify, systematise and accelerate your test data management processes, such as data profiling and data masking.

Data integration is a set of capabilities that allows data that is in one place to be moved to another place, frequently via a data pipeline (although for clarification’s sake, we should mention that – unlike, say, the Windows move operation – this does not generally remove or alter the original data). This is more complicated than it sounds.

IRI FieldShield was first released in 2011 as a data masking solution for structured data that would “shield” sensitive data at the field level (hence the name). Historically, one of its biggest use cases has been anonymising data sets for use in test environments (which is to say, test data management), and this continues today. Moreover, FieldShield is built on the SortCL engine that also drives several other IRI products, such as CoSort.
