How TrueTest generate test data

TrueTest can automatically populate test data for generated test cases. This feature helps testers execute and validate tests without manually providing every input value, especially for test cases they did not author themselves.

Data privacy
  • The data captured and used by TrueTest does not include PII; captured values are non-PII and fields that would contain PII will not be populated. Learn more about how we handle data privacy at Protect user data privacy.

Test data generation modes​

Test data generation is configured per data tracking environment. This means each environment (e.g., Production, Staging, QA) can use a different mode depending on its privacy policies and testing needs.

Disabled is the default mode for all data tracking environment. If you want to switch to Raw or Synthetic, contact the TrueTest team for support.

Disabled (default)​

  • What it does: TrueTest does not populate any captured data into the generated test case. All input fields require manual test-data entry.
  • Recommended use: Use the Disabled mode when you do not want TrueTest to inject any captured inputs into generated tests for full control over test data.

Raw​

  • What it does: TrueTest populates test data using the raw captured non-PII values from user interactions.
  • Recommended use: Environments where testers need realistic values to reproduce production-like behavior while keeping privacy risks controlled (for example, Staging/QA/Pre-prod lower environments).

Synthetic​

  • What it does: TrueTest generates synthetic test data derived from captured patterns (i.e., realistic but not actual captured values). This option leverages a AI-based model to produce the synthetic values.
  • Recommended use: For privacy-sensitive environments (such as Production) where you are required to avoid using any real captured values. Synthetic data provides realistic inputs without using actual captured values, making it suitable where privacy or compliance is paramount.
