Step By Step Guide To Clean Polluted Test Environment
Creating test environment helps the managers and employees keep track of all the
activities. Divisions are created with a head assigned to each and depending on the
requirements of the test environment management automation tools might also be
allocated.But after creating the test environment the job is not over yet.
It might sound easy and neat but with changing teams, there are changes in the
system as well. This would end up in a mess, so it is important to clean­up on time.
A detailed guide will help you to restructure your test environment effectively.
Follow the below steps to achieve effective results.
Step 1: Inventory Creation
The startup of this process is knowing how many test environments are functioning
in the organization. Draft all the active environments in form of inventory using
specific tools instead of keeping a track by updating the excel sheet. Check how
often they are updated and regularly track request for a new environment.
Step 2: Define the Test Environment Management
Define the purpose and activities of each test environment. Make sure you assign

tasks depending on capabilities of each team. Different organizations have different
requirements thus communicating with the team helps resolve such small issues.
Step 3: Accountable Person
Each environment needs one person who takes full responsibility for one particular
test environment. All the reports and progress of that environment will be
communicated to that one person who has been assigned the responsibility.
Step 4: Lone Networks
Due to lack of resources and teams, there is a possibility that you might feel the
need of mixing up the environment. But never make the mistake of doing so as this
might end up in losing track of work and you might lose data related to specific
functions.
Step 5: Limit your test environments
Make sure that you don't keep adding unnecessary test environments as this would
add up the cost of the organization. In case any request comes up, at first analyze
the worth and if not necessary, reject the request. Having too many test
environments can also create management problem.
Step 6: Regular Review
Keep track and gather follow­ups of the activities. Establish weekly reports and
conduct meetings for reviewing any mistakes happening. The best precaution is
attention, if you are aware of what is happening in the process then everything can
be kept under control.
