# Test Data for Local Spirion Client

For testing purposes, test/sample data is provided in this article along with instructions of how to use it.

## Test Data 

Spirion provides test/sample data for testing purposes.

-   [This zip file](http://www.identityfinder.com/software/KBFiles/110845/Identity_Finder_Test_Data.zip) contains other files with valid and false positive data.
-   When evaluating the Spirion client application, test or sample data is often required to validate application settings. 
-   In many cases, invalid/fake/fabricated SSNs and CCN's will not show up in Spirion searches because of its ability to eliminate false positives. 
-   These capabilities may cause confusion when piloting or demonstrating the use of Identity Finder to others. 
-   Additionally, when conducting training exercises, it may be desirable to use standard sample data.

The file "[Identity Finder Test Data.zip](https://support.spirion.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000019252-Test-Sample-Data)" (under the Attachments section) contains results that are found by a default search, and includes results for the following AnyFind (Spirion provided built-in) data types:

-   **Social Security Numbers**
-   **Credit Card Numbers**
-   **Password Values**
-   **Bank Account Numbers**
-   **Driver Licenses**
-   **Dates of Birth**
-   **Phone Numbers**
-   **E-Mail Addresses**
-   **Personal Addresses**
