Datamaker™ offers the ability to generate unlimited quantities of high-quality test data – but for some situations, the data has to be more than just varied and complete. It has to exhibit certain patterns and trends. Enter Data Shaper™, Datamaker’s trend modeler.

Data Shaper™ allows you provision and then modify test data at a macroscopic scale, embedding trends and patterns of your choosing. Do you want to simulate a gradual growth in sales in the third quarter? Data Shaper™ can do that. Do you want to see how your system deals with repetitive, periodic spikes in its input? Data Shaper™ can do that too. With a range of trend types to choose from and the ability to amend as much or as little of your data as you want, Data Shaper™ can give you data in whatever shape you want.

If you’re building forecasting systems – be it stock prices, inventory management, or even the weather – you need to know that your predictive model is going to give you the right answers. Using past data is a start, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. For truly thorough testing, you need data that simulates events that matter. Your investment decision model might have worked correctly with data from the past few years, but will do the best possible thing in the case of a sudden, unprecedented crash?

Data Shaper™ can presently embed the following trends into your data, though we're adding more all the time. Click on the trend to get a small mathematical description and examples of where such trends occur.

All of these trends are parametric, so you can completely configure their slopes and shapes. If your data is a little too regular, Data Shaper™ can also add noise to better reflect the turbulence of real-world situations.
