Business moves fast—which means that software development teams need to move even faster. The emergence of new software development models, such as the agile development process and cloud testing environments is driving a new era of computing.
To make the most of the new era of computing, organizations need effective and efficient testing strategies—complete with processes for governing test data. However, many development, testing and quality assurance (QA) teams struggle to create and maintain the required test data. IT departments often lack confidence about test data preparation and data usage.
That’s where test data management comes in.
