What it does

Test Data Management is an agent skill from proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe. Strategic test data generation, management, and privacy compliance. Use when creating test data, handling PII, ensuring GDPR/CCPA compliance, or scaling data generation for realistic testing scenarios.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `evals/test-data-management.yaml`, `schemas/output.json` and `scripts/validate-config.json`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Privacy and GDPR and Test data and fixtures. The repository describes itself as: Agentic QE Fleet is an open-source AI-powered QA/QE platform designed for use with Coding Agents (works best with Claude Code) featuring specialized agents and skills to support… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating test data
  • Ensuring GDPR/CCPA compliance
  • Scaling data generation for realistic testing scenarios

Example prompts

  • “/test-data-management”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  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)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 829d030. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Test Data Management loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

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

Edge casesBoundary testingTargeted

Data Anonymization

javascript
// 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

javascript
// 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

typescript
// 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");

Fleet Coordination

  agents: [
    'qe-test-data-architect',  // Generate data
    'qe-test-executor',        // Execute with data
    'qe-security-scanner'      // Validate no PII exposure
  ],
  topology: 'sequential'
});


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.
