Discover the pivotal role of test data in achieving robust test coverage with Ashok Kumar in this insightful talk. Access to high-quality test data is crucial for the success of any testing function, and Ashok elaborates on the challenges and solutions for efficient test data management, particularly in distributed agile teams.

In an agile world, rapid and automated handling of test data is essential. Ashok shares the experiences of his team, who faced the daunting task of creating a large volume of data at short intervals for multiple teams in a complex agile environment. The absence of an effective data management solution resulted in erroneous test results due to data cross-contamination and duplication. They decided to build a solution that automated data creation from multiple sources, offering seamless access to both internal teams and external partners.

Discover the transformative benefits of this data management approach, which has led to increased velocity, happier teams, reduced test result noise, and more confident production releases.
