Leveraging AI and machine learning, it drives to the precise root cause of the issues, and identifies the optimal workflows, testing paths, and the ‘next best actions’. Through advanced data masking algorithms, it can identify sensitive information and irreversibly mask production, synthetically generated or virtually created data for testing purposes.
