What are your strategies for creating and managing test data that reflects real-world scenarios?

Accurate and realistic test data is essential for effective testing, as it helps ensure that tests reflect how the application will perform in real-world conditions. This question invites QA professionals to share their strategies for generating, managing, and maintaining test data that closely mimics real user environments. It addresses challenges such as handling sensitive data, ensuring data variability, and keeping test data up-to-date as the application evolves. How do you create and manage test data that accurately represents real-world scenarios, and what tools or techniques do you rely on to do so?

Engineering measurement

I work in an organisation where some domains we think are doing OK. They are CD, YBIYRI, product teams delivering to production in some instances multiple times a day.In other domains they have not really even started on that journey. They are projects not products and follow a more siloed, phased, document heavy way of working.We have a mandate to help these other domains on their journey to CD.We do however want to be sure we are safe to scale. We traditionally have only used trailing metrics (e.g. DORA) which tell us how we DID. We have a gut feel that as we scale we may need metrics that are more leading (e.g. measuring engineering signals like code complexity or, dare I say it, code coverage) which tell us how we ARE DOING.We think we are aware of the usual gotchas in measurement and so our measurement principles include things like: don't measure individuals but teams, don't set arbitrary targets, don't use metrics to judge across teams but to help each team have better evidence-

Do you have any new year resolutions?

Do you have any new-year resolutions? They can be both testing-related and non-testing related. 🙂For me, it is to be more active as an author and speaker. Hopefully, you’ll see the results soon. 😉 From the professional point of view, there are several certifications I have my eyes on in 2024.
