Turn Your Production Systems into Test-Ready Data

REGISTER FOR INSTANT ACCESS

 

On Demand Test Data

Most organisations today rely on production systems for test data, as 54% of test teams depend on production data copies [1]. Yet, using production data for testing poses challenges in data quality, staleness, and compliance. Production data often includes sensitive information, but lacks data to support diverse test scenarios. Refreshing data via backups is furthermore slow, creating out-of-date and costly test environments. There is additionally never enough data for parallel teams and tests, introducing constraints and test failures that derail rapid software delivery.

This webinar will set out how production databases can be made “test ready” and delivered on demand, enabling rapid, rigorous and compliant testing. Veteran test data inventor, Huw Price, will team up with Paul Stanton, a database virtualisation expert and co-founder of Windocks. They will set out a roadmap for making complete and compliant data available on-the-fly during rapid software development and CI/CD. This strategy will include:

  1. Data analysis, profiling, and archaeology, understanding the location of sensitive information and coverage gaps across environments.

  2. Just in time data “find and makes”, automatically finding and making complete and compliant data during manual testing, test automation, and CI/CD.

  3. On demand database virtualisation and orchestration, serving low-cost virtual data copies in parallel and in seconds.
