Creating a Test Data Catalog with Delphix
Test environment data is all over the place, slowing down your projects, and injecting quality issues. It doesn’t have to be this way.
According to the TDM Strategy survey done by Infosys in 2015, up to 60% of application development and testing time is devoted to data-related tasks. That statistic is consistent with my personal experience with the app dev lifecycle, as well as my experience with the world’s largest financial institutions.
A huge contributor to the testing bottleneck is data friction. Incorporating people, process, and technology into DataOps practices is the only way to reduce data friction across organizations and to enable the rapid, automated, and secure management of data at scale.
For example, by leveraging the Delphix Dynamic Data Platform as a Test Data Catalog, I have seen several of my customers nearly double their test frequency while reducing data-related defects. The Test Data Catalog is a way of leveraging Delphix to transform manual event-driven testing organizations into automated testing factories; where everyone in testing and dev, including the test data engineers, can leverage self-service to get the data they need and to securely share the data they produce.
Below you will find two videos I recorded to help illustrate and explain this concept. The first is an introduction that speaks a little deeper on the problem space. In the second video, I demonstrate how to use Delphix as a Test Data Catalog.
