With society’s increasing data production and the corresponding demand for systems that are capable of utilizing them, the big data domain has gained significant importance. However, besides the systems’ actual implementation, their testing also needs to be considered. For this, oftentimes, proper test data sets are necessary. This publication discusses several different approaches how these can be provisioned and, further, highlights the respective advantages, disadvantages, and suitable application scenarios. In doing so, researchers and practitioners that are implementing big data applications and need to test them, or who are generally interested in the domain, are supported in their own considerations on how to obtain test data.
