<strong>Effective</strong> <strong>Strategies</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Management</strong><br />
The organizations are expanding on a daily basis and to manage such a large<br />
company the activities are also increasing. With new activities, the task of<br />
managing and keeping the record of data also increases. In such situations, it is<br />
very important to strategize the management of everything. This can be made<br />
easy with the techniques of test data management. It is one of the easiest <strong>for</strong>ms<br />
to manage your data storage efficiency.<br />
<strong>Test</strong> environment management oversees the functions of test environments and<br />
assures that everything is working according to the schedule. Some best<br />
practices that will help you ascertain the test environment are:<br />
Assign <strong>Environment</strong> head<br />
Although it is known that the test environment is a tedious task, an effective way<br />
to manage it in a better way is by assigning individual head <strong>for</strong> each<br />
environment. This reduces the workload that was earlier borne by many<br />
individuals. Having a single reporting authority makes it easy <strong>for</strong> the employees<br />
as well as the managers to have full knowledge about the functions of the<br />
environment.
Document Everything<br />
Having everything written down is one improved way of recording the events<br />
happening in the environment. Starting from resource scheduling and incidents to<br />
configurations of the test environment. There are even certain software packages<br />
that assist in recording and managing such data. Shared documents and<br />
spreadsheets are low-cost approaches.<br />
Virtualization<br />
This reduces one of the major and commonly faced conflicts between<br />
development and testing teams. The virtualization technique allows identifying<br />
each test environment as developers can now add custom as well as existing<br />
template images.<br />
Reassess <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong><br />
Last, but not the least factor that determines the success of test data<br />
management is that regular assessment. Determine on regular intervals what is<br />
working and what is not, if any environment needs to be improved. Take into<br />
consideration what the testing, as well as developing team, requires.<br />
Thus these approaches should be followed effectively if you are working in a<br />
very large organization. Ownership, documentation and assessment are the<br />
pillars <strong>for</strong> establishing an effective management in a test environment. So<br />
implement them carefully <strong>for</strong> better results.<br />
