Test Data Management

Test Data Management is the discipline of designing, provisioning and maintaining datasets used for software testing. It covers synthetic data generation, masking, subsetting, versioning and provisioning for environments to ensure repeatable, privacy-compliant tests. TDM balances realism, cost and compliance across development, CI and production-like testing pipelines.
