Patterns – Custom Field & Value Rules for Smarter Testing

Description:
Patterns (formerly known as Generator Sets) enable teams to personalize and enhance Aptori’s testing engine by defining custom rules for field names and values. These reusable patterns improve test coverage, enable realistic synthetic data generation, and power precise data-leak detection—all tailored to your application’s data model.

With Patterns, you can simulate sensitive data inputs like SSNs, credit cards, or email addresses and search for their unintended exposure in responses or stored content—uncovering flaws that generic scanners often miss.

Key Capabilities:

• Custom Pattern Library
  Define reusable patterns for common fields (e.g., SSNs, credit cards, email addresses) and values.
• Synthetic Data Generation
  During scans, Aptori uses your patterns to generate realistic test inputs—uncovering logic flaws and edge cases.
• Data-Leak Hunting
  Leverage the same patterns to scan responses and stored data for potential exposures.
• Plug-and-Play
  Manage your Patterns in a single UI; changes take effect immediately across all scans.
