Test Data Management is the process of testing software through planning, designing, storing and managing the data of particular software. An application should be tested rigorously, you might want to use the generic data for testing but it can lead to a lot of problems once the application is put in for production.

<strong>Process</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>Acquiring</strong> <strong>Satisfactory</strong> <strong>Results</strong><br />

<strong>Test</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Management</strong> ​is the process <strong>of</strong> testing s<strong>of</strong>tware through planning, designing, storing<br />

and managing the data <strong>of</strong> particular s<strong>of</strong>tware. An application should be tested rigorously, you<br />

might want to use the generic data <strong>for</strong> testing but it can lead to a lot <strong>of</strong> problems once the<br />

application is put in <strong>for</strong> production.<br />

It is better if you do the testing with the data which is very similar to the actual data then there<br />

will be close to no problems during the production. To get the proper data quality process<br />

should be conducted. Here is the whole ​test data management process ​you need to conduct<br />

to gain satisfactory results.<br />

Planning


Planning is the basic step <strong>of</strong> the test data management process. The first step is to get a leader<br />

<strong>for</strong> your team so allot this authority to a very capable and responsible person. After you have a<br />

test data manager <strong>for</strong> the team, set the requirements and templates <strong>for</strong> data management. Start<br />

listing the methods <strong>of</strong> tests and data landscape reference in a document.<br />

Prepare a Service Level Agreement so that deliverables, support, and communication are clear<br />

between all the parties. Form your test data management team and include skillful people to<br />

gain maximum results. Set up an appropriate ​test data management plan ​and sign <strong>of</strong>f the<br />

papers.<br />

Analysis<br />

Recording <strong>of</strong> version numbers <strong>for</strong> existing data in all environments is done after setting up and<br />

synching exercises involving data pr<strong>of</strong>iling <strong>for</strong> each individual data and proper alignment <strong>of</strong> all<br />

the data requirements.<br />

Update project lists be<strong>for</strong>e analysing data requirements and the latest distribution blog. You<br />

should assess <strong>for</strong> gaps and focus on the impact <strong>of</strong> data modification. Define security, backup,<br />

storage and access policy <strong>of</strong> the date, also start preparing reports <strong>for</strong> them.


Enov8 will provide you with the perfect solution to all the problems concerning your test data<br />

management.<br />

Design<br />

Start by making strategies <strong>for</strong> how you are going to prepare your data. Locate regions where the<br />

data is needed to be refreshed or reloaded. Find appropriate methods and pronounce data<br />

sources and providers. Identify the tools needed, make data distribution plans and<br />

communication plans. Also, make the test activity plan and documents <strong>for</strong> the data plan.


Build<br />

This step <strong>of</strong> the process is quite important as the implementation <strong>of</strong> plans begins here. Start by<br />

executing the plans you made earlier and also execute de-identification where needed. Back up<br />

all your data and update your logs.


Maintenance<br />

Supporting change requests, unplanned data requirements, and problems to enhance the<br />

quality <strong>of</strong> the end result. Prioritise requests where applicable and analyse requirements.<br />

Consider the thought if the modified current data can be met including the data assigned to<br />

other projects. See if there is any need <strong>for</strong> data modification and back up your new data. Assign<br />

version makers and log with the relevant description. Revise the state <strong>of</strong> ongoing projects.<br />

Per<strong>for</strong>m the data pr<strong>of</strong>ile exercises and asses the gaps. Refresh the data where it is required as<br />

well as schedule and communicate maintenance. Redirect requests if you see it necessary after<br />

documentation, prepare the reports.<br />

IT environment management gives you command over the testing environment to conduct the<br />

error-free testing.
