1. Capability to discover data from data source and categorize them automatically + having the capability to add or define your own categorization


2. Capability for classifying the data in your data source in Prod and allowing the extraction of the subset of data meeting your testing requirement at the same time sanitizing the data to ensure Personal Identifiable Information is not compromised


3. What is my requirement for the data for bug fixing or getting missing data or getting data for new apps


E.g. Getting a valid Social Security number that is usable but has no actual entity to be identified to, Generating a Visa card dummy number that will pass visa validation but is not a valid card


4. Have the capability to deal with relational data and nonrelational data or flat-file based data - Generate or Obfuscate



5. Can my data mask relatable data across database or DB tables, e.g if 2 databases hold user records have a key to identify an entry that is common in both databases then use that key? Can I maintain referential integrity across all dB e.g If a user table has Jim as a name and he is obfuscated to Jack then all the fields that hold the name be obfuscated to Jack is a true test of Referential integrity?


6. Ease of use and how easy it can be scripted via Automation tools or call to API because most of the requirement for Test data is for Testing hence it would be nice to call API to meet certain rules for data requirement and provide that concise information to a tester.
