Test data procurement – Three basic options

In the process of software development, tests need to be performed repeatedly. Depending on the stage of development, various test data, from individual test case data to bulk data, is required. There are three basic options for obtaining this test data: The manual creation of test data, the creation of synthetic test data and the conversion of productive data into test data

Evolving from hosts to distributed systems – and what about test data? Everyone needs test data – even companies that use software, but do not develop it themselves. Obtaining this […]

Bulk data for system and release tests

Best-Practice: Test data procurement in the context of continuous software development (PART 3/3). Before the new or modified applications go live, system, release, load or performance tests are applied. For this purpose, no fine-grained customized test case data is needed, but production-related data in larger quantities is required. These tests are

Customized test case data for functional, component and regression testing

Best-Practice: Test data procurement in the context of continuous software development (PART 2/3). The further development of an application usually means that different features or even bug fixes need to be implemented. Ideally, each feature gets its own environment. This environment contains only the relevant data for that particular case.

Pre-Production as the basis for test data procurement

Best-Practice: Test data procurement in the context of continuous software development (PART 1/3) Due to the massive increase in data-driven business models (from data-enhanced to pure data-driven business models), IT, and, […]
