A mechanism is described for the computer-aided generation of anonymized data records for developing and testing application programs that are intended for use in a productive network (). A method according to the invention comprises the provision of at least one productive database () containing data records that contain productive data elements to be anonymized, provision of at least one non-productive database () containing data records that likewise contain data elements, the generation of an assignment between data records of the non-productive database () and data records of the productive database (), and also the generation of an anonymized data record by replacing the data elements to be anonymized in a data record from the productive database () with the data elements of an assigned data record from the non-productive database (). The assignment is maintained during a later generation of new anonymized data records and/or during an updating of already generated anonymized data records in order to be able to maintain the test data and in order to make simpler error analysis possible.

Generation of updatable anonymized data records for testing and developing purposes

A mechanism is described for the computer-aided generation of anonymized data records () for developing and testing application programs that are intended for use in a productive network. A method according to the invention comprises the provision of at least one productive database containing data records () that contain productive data elements to be anonymized, the provision of at least one non-productive database containing data records () that, in regard to the character string length of the data elements contained therein, at least partly correspond to the productive data records, the determination of a first data record () from the productive database and of a second data record () from the non-productive database and also the generation of anonymized data records () by replacing the data elements to be anonymized in the first data record () by data elements of the second data record ().
