The presentation on Test Data Management (TDM) discusses its importance in aiding organizations to maximize their investment in testing by addressing gaps in the testing lifecycle through automation and improved data management. Key topics include the value TDM provides, testing efficiencies, and strategies for enhancing test data provisioning while mitigating risks associated with production data. The session includes demos and suggests further discussions on TDM's application in organizations.

TDM - Testing Lifecycle Gaps and Opportunities
•Reduce data related defects
•Ability to fulfill 100% of the testing data needs
•Better simulation of data boundary conditions
Data Quality Benefits
•Faster provisioning of test cases & data thru automation
•Mitigating slow & complex data setup with synthetic data
creation
Time to Market Benefits
•Data harness integration with HP QC & ALM
•Avoiding manual efforts in data setup
•Increased data re-use
•Reduction in external team engagements e.g. DBAs
Reduced Cost Benefits
Align to organizational automation goals by reducing time spent creating &
provisioning data leading to maximum speed and quality
•Production data does not provide full functional
coverage
•Extremely manual process leading to long lead
times for projects
•Data ages rapidly
•Data PII compliance issues
•Testers “burn” data and inadvertently affect each
other’s work
•Difficulty locating the right data for a particular
test
•Data Synchronization w/ complex relationships
intact
•Data handoff/process challenges
TDM Challenges

How do Most Organizations Think About TDM Today?
Production Refresh Subset Mask
To most companies this is TDM!
• 20%-30% coverage
• Happy Path Testing!
• No negative test scenario’s
• No data for new development
• Refresh timing varies due to work required
Data inserted into different data stores for dev/test

How do Most Organizations Think About TDM Today?
Production Refresh gives
testers coverage that looks like
this:
Needs this coverage to meet test case scenarios
So they manually add the
data they need.
When the data goes “stale”,
they do another “refresh”
from production and wipe
out all the work they did!
How can we
automate this
process?

Test Data Management Strategy
 Production subsets may not contain data to satisfy test criteria
 Production does not contain data for new functionality
 Production data may not contain outliers
 Refresh of Test Data is time-consuming, expensive and typically infrequent
 Test environment infrastructure cost is higher than necessary
 Exposes organisation to legislative risk
