  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads test-data-management automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Test Data Management

<default_to_action> When creating or managing test data:

  1. NEVER use production PII directly
  2. GENERATE synthetic data with faker libraries
  3. ANONYMIZE production data if used (mask, hash)
  4. ISOLATE test data (transactions, per-test cleanup)
  5. SCALE with batch generation (10k+ records/sec)

Quick Data Strategy:

  • Unit tests: Minimal data (just enough)
  • Integration: Realistic data (full complexity)
  • Performance: Volume data (10k+ records)

Critical Success Factors:

  • 40% of test failures from inadequate data
  • GDPR fines up to €20M for PII violations
  • Never store production PII in test environments </default_to_action>

Quick Reference Card

When to Use

  • Creating test datasets
  • Handling sensitive data
  • Performance testing with volume
  • GDPR/CCPA compliance

Data Anonymization

// Masking
function maskEmail(email) {
  const [user, domain] = email.split('@');
  return `${user[0]}***@${domain}`;
}
// john@example.com → j***@example.com

function maskCreditCard(cc) {
  return `****-****-****-${cc.slice(-4)}`;
}
// 4242424242424242 → ****-****-****-4242

// Anonymize production data
const anonymizedUsers = prodUsers.map(user => ({
  id: user.id, // Keep ID for relationships
  email: `user-${user.id}@example.com`, // Fake email
  firstName: faker.person.firstName(), // Generated
  phone: null, // Remove PII
  createdAt: user.createdAt // Keep non-PII
}));

Database Transaction Isolation

// Best practice: use transactions for cleanup
beforeEach(async () => {
  await db.beginTransaction();
});

afterEach(async () => {
  await db.rollbackTransaction(); // Auto cleanup!
});

test('user registration', async () => {
  const user = await userService.register({
    email: 'test@example.com'
  });
  expect(user.id).toBeDefined();
  // Automatic rollback after test - no cleanup needed
});

Agent-Driven Data Generation

// High-speed generation with constraints
await Task("Generate Test Data", {
  schema: 'ecommerce',
  count: { users: 10000, products: 500, orders: 5000 },
  preserveReferentialIntegrity: true,
  constraints: {
    age: { min: 18, max: 90 },
    roles: ['customer', 'admin']
  }
}, "qe-test-data-architect");

// GDPR-compliant anonymization
await Task("Anonymize Production Data", {
  source: 'production-snapshot',
  piiFields: ['email', 'phone', 'ssn'],
  method: 'pseudonymization',
  retainStructure: true
}, "qe-test-data-architect");

  • performance-testing - Volume data for perf tests

Remember

Never use production PII directly. Always use synthetic data or properly anonymized production snapshots.

With Agents: qe-test-data-architect generates 10k+ records/sec with realistic patterns, relationships, and constraints. Agents ensure GDPR/CCPA compliance automatically and eliminate test data bottlenecks.
