Test Data

Test data is a set of non-sensitive, synthetic data that is used to validate a given ER2 built-in data type.

For example, test cardholder data are credit card numbers that are not in circulation but conform to the same criteria as live card numbers. These criteria include:

• Length - The length of the card number is valid. For example, 15 digits for American Express cards, and 16 digits for Mastercard or Visa cards.
• Prefix - The card number prefix is identified to be issued through a valid card issuing network. For example, American Express cards start with 34 or 37, and Mastercard cards start with 51 - 55.
• Luhn / Mod10 check algorithm - The check digit passes the Luhn / Mod10 check algorithm.

ER2 maintains a built-in list of over 10,000 test data and is able to distinguish between test data and valid sensitive data. For example, when cardholder data is detected, ER2 reports test data matches separately from valid cardholder data matches to make PCI DSS compliance easier to achieve.

Users can also define custom test data by Adding a Global Filter.
