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?

Quality Improvements

• Formalized Requirements• Test Case Design

• Test Data Warehouse• Find and Reserve Test Data• Test Data Reporting

Testing Efficiencies

• Synthetically generated data • Data Cloning • Data Conditioning

Improve on Production Data

• Secure, de-sensitized prod data• Referentially intact slices of

production data

Refresh from Production

Test Data Provisioning

• ALM / QC Integration• Self-Service Test Data

• Test Case Optimization• Coverage Analysis


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
