Test Data

Auditor-prepared transactions processed through an application to verify controls and logic.

Definition

Test data includes valid and invalid transactions to confirm edits, validations, and calculations work as expected. It tests program logic at a point in time, typically in a test environment, but may not reflect the actual production version.

Example

Submitting an order with a negative quantity confirms the validation check rejects it.

Exam tip

Test data verifies program controls but does not prove the same program ran in production.
