Every quality assurance team knows the feeling. The test plan is ready, the automation suite is built, the environment is booked, and then the work stops while everyone waits for data.
Today we're announcing a strategic partnership with iLAB, an independent software quality assurance, testing and delivery assurance partner with more than 25 years of experience supporting mission-critical enterprise systems. Together, we're bringing the Synthesized platform into iLAB's quality engineering and assurance engagements, so that clients can provision compliant test data in minutes, not weeks.
Why we're partnering with iLAB
iLAB helps organizations reduce delivery risk and ensure enterprise systems work as intended across the full lifecycle, from procurement and implementation through testing, release, and continuous operations. With more than 1000 accredited QA experts and over 100,000+ test cases executed per day, globally, they work with public and private sector organizations across 20+ industries, including government, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications and ERP/SAP.
That's exactly where test data does the most damage if it's not fit for purpose. Large programs, regulated data and complex system landscapes all mean that test data is often the slowest, riskiest and most manual part of delivery.
iLAB brings the delivery expertise and the governance discipline. Synthesized brings the AI-native test data management platform that automates the complete test data lifecycle from a single governance plane. Together, quality teams get the right data, on time, without exposing sensitive production data.
What the partnership means for your team
For QA and testing teams
Test data shouldn't be the reason a test cycle slips. With the Synthesized platform built into iLAB's engagements, test data generation, masking, subsetting, provisioning and refresh are automated, cutting provisioning time by up to 90%. Automated regression suites, CI/CD pipelines and agentic AI workflows get continuous, on-demand data, with no manual handoffs and no stale datasets.
For SAP transformation and migration program leads
S/4HANA migrations depend on testing that reflects how the business actually runs. The Synthesized platform generates production-realistic SAP test data that preserves business logic and referential integrity across modules. That supports migration dry runs, cutover validation, integration testing, and regression testing, and keeps data consistent across SAP and non-SAP applications so end-to-end business processes can be tested as they run in production.
For data engineers in regulated industries
Copying production data into non-production environments is a growing liability. Synthesized replaces those copies with synthetic, privacy-by-design data, with zero PII exposure and built-in alignment to GDPR, CCPA, SOX, and HIPAA. Public sector, financial services, healthcare, and telecommunications teams can test with realistic data while staying on the right side of regulators.
Why now: AI-driven quality engineering and assurance depends on data
Enterprises are modernizing core systems, moving to S/4HANA and introducing AI into delivery, often all at once. Each shift increases testing needs and frequency, and each depends on reliable test data available on demand. Despite this, test data remains the most manual stage in otherwise automated pipelines. Test data bottlenecks delay 79% of development projects, and 70% of software defects trace back to poor data quality.
AI raises the stakes further. Automated tests, AI-enabled defect analysis, and agentic QA workflows can only produce trustworthy results when they run on data that behaves and looks realistically like production. As testing becomes more automated, data realism matters more, not less.
iLAB and Synthesized share a simple view: quality is an operating model, not a phase. Continuous quality needs continuous, governed test data.
Jethro Lloyd, CEO of iLAB, commented:
“Our teams see the test data problem all the time. You can build excellent automation, but if the right data is not available when you need it, you are still creating a bottleneck. Synthesized gives us another way to help clients address that problem as part of the broader quality strategy.”
Nicolai Baldin, CEO and Founder of Synthesized, added:
“Automation and AI are only as reliable as the data behind them. iLAB brings the quality engineering expertise to know what and how best to test. Synthesized brings continuous, compliant, production-realistic test data across SAP and non-SAP systems. Together, clients can answer the question that matters most: do we have the data to prove it?”
