Abstract

Systems and methods for test data generation are described. In one implementation, the method includes receiving seed data having one or more characteristics. Further, the method includes obtaining a selection criterion indicating a selected portion of the seed data to be transformed. Based on the selection criterion, the seed data is transformed for at least a plurality of iterations to generate test data. The test data comprise a plurality of data sets including a primary data set generated in a first iteration and a secondary data set generated in each subsequent iteration. The primary data set includes transformed data corresponding to the selected portion of the seed data and non-transformed data corresponding to a remaining portion of the seed data and each secondary data set includes transformed data corresponding to the selected portion of the seed data.
