You may have heard of test data management (TDM). It’s part of the software delivery process – some would say a crucial part, involving the creation, management, and maintenance of environments for software development and testing. By provisioning fresh, production-like data, it allows developers to test their proposed changes early, thoroughly, and repeatedly with... Read more
We recently sat down with James Phillips, CIO at Rev.io, to talk about test data management (TDM) and the growing attention it’s getting from the C-suite. It’s been prompted by the recognition that provisioning test and development environments with realistic production-like data improves the quality of code being developed, reduces errors, and deliver new...

In a world of too many acronyms and initialisms, we’re here to talk about one more – TDM, aka DevOps test data management. What is DevOps Test Data Management? Like a cliché best-person wedding speech, let’s start with a definition. Gartner says test data management is ‘the process of providing DevOps teams with data... Read more
In an era marked by the convergence of Big Data, hybrid cloud use, and the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence, organisations across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region find themselves at a critical juncture. The ability to collect, manage, and leverage data effectively is now a determining factor for competitive advantage – and will... Read more
As data grows and databases become larger and more complicated, data subsetting provides a method of working with a smaller, lighter copy of a database to make development and testing faster and easier. But what exactly is it, how and why are developers using it – or not using it, and what’s prompting conversations... Read more
Most applications have large and complex databases at the back end, making it hard for developers to adequately test their work before it goes out. Having a fast, repeatable process to deliver data on demand is an essential part of an effective software development lifecycle, ultimately leading to improved customer satisfaction. In this article,... Read more
It’s a constant challenge for many businesses: where and how to focus investment in technology to remain competitive and stay current with the latest trends and development practices, while still meeting changing customer demands. That’s even more relevant now because, in a tough economic climate, global digital transformation spending is still forecast to reach... Read more
The quality of database releases relies on thorough initial testing in development with teams needing access to fast, reliable data. While database testing is one of the most challenging aspects of development, processes which utilize database clones can overcome these issues. A database clone is a complete and fully functioning copy of a database... Read more
Redgate Software announced today the introduction of a new and comprehensive cross-database DevOps tool, which allows development teams to include test data management as an easy step in their DevOps processes. Redgate Clone enables small, light clones of databases to be created manually or as an automated process in their CI and CD pipelines. Read more
A constant challenge for many development teams is how to include test data management in the development process. Testing with consistent, realistic and compliant datasets, and bringing the database into CI and DevOps pipelines, has been shown to catch data-related issues long before they reach customers. The result: an increase in efficiency, a reduction... Read more
