The Interdependence Of Software Testing And Test
Data Management
2

• Every day the companies are launching new
  software to cater to the needs of the market. As
  we see the increase in the number of software, it
  becomes extremely necessary to refine the process
  of testing.
• The testing process, backed by test data
  management is the backbone of successful
  software. This makes data management an
  inevitable approach to master the art of testing.
  
• With this, we clearly envision that software
  testing is totally dependent on how the test data
  management is handled. But did you know, that the
  sole objective test management is generating
  market-worthy software?
• Yes, this states that both function to complete
  each other. Without software, the purpose of test
  data is lost and without test data, the
  efficiency of software fails.
• The entire objective of this excerpt is the
  produce software with flying colours. With a view
  to doing that, lets fill the bag with techniques
  of test management.

• Its all about the Observing and Locating
• You dont know where the test data will be hidden
  away. With various software being developed, a
  different test environment shall have different
  test data. For hunting your software testing data
  you will need an eagles eye (just kidding).
• The eagles eye is the of an element of test data
  management i.e IT environment management tools,
  that ensures each testing team gets the desired
  data on time.

• Encrypting the Test Data
• Once you have the data on-hand, next you move
  onto protecting it from illegal access. Why?
  Well, the answer is simple, if a virus hacks the
  test data, the software testing results will
  fail. All of this shall lead to inefficient
  software. So, indeed protect the vital data like
  name, addresses, and financial stats from being
  exposed.
• Test Data does not Expire
• When we say test data does not expire, it means
  that the characters and framework of data are
  viable for reuse. The added bonus of reused test
  data is that it creates a testing model free from
  all the previously committed errors. It is just
  the new challenges that test team need to cater
  to.

• Automation, A Reduction in Human Efforts
• Nothing speaks like the power of technology. In
  the view of reducing the manual efforts and
  errors, automation tools do quite a good job in
  extracting, scripting, masking, cloning and
  provisioning the test data.
• The tale of dependency, but the task of test
  environment management tool does end here. With
  Agile methods and the DevOps approach, the
  automation will soon overpower human efforts.
  Thus, the role of test management will prove
  effective for software development.
