What is Synthetic Test Data?

Artificially generated data that mimics production characteristics without containing real personal or business data.

Synthetic data can be created via APIs, BAPIs, migration tools, or generators. It avoids privacy risk but may miss real-world edge cases. Automated tests often create their own data to be independent.
