Study Reveals Usage of Highest Quality Data is the Key to Rapid Application Development, Continuous Innovation
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New Delphix report reveals poor test data responsible for slow software release
times, one in seven software defects
REDWOOD CITY, CA and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - May 30, 2017) -
Delphix, the company that has changed the dynamics of managing and consuming
data, today issued the findings of the "State of Test Data Management" study
which revealed improved data quality is a major factor in faster application
development. The report also showed that, in hopes of delivering more data to
more teams across the organization, that many IT organizations admit
compromising data quality. It was also widely felt by respondents that the
ability to bring high-quality software to market quickly was critical to
survival in today's Software Economy.
A study on the "State of Test Data Management" has revealed that, while
organizations have adopted agile and DevOps methodologies to support innovation,
it is Test Data Management (TDM) that is prohibitively slow and can
significantly constrain application development times. The research, based on
responses from 225 business leaders, revealed:
* On average, it takes 3.5 days and 4 people to provision an environment for
testing and development purposes;
* Data privacy is often compromised to support demands for data access across
the organization;
* 75% of respondents admitted that engineers are often allowed access to
unprotected sensitive information.
"Application development teams need fast and reliable test data for their
projects. Yet many are constrained by the speed, quality, security, and costs of
moving data across environments," explained Iain Chidgey, VP of Sales
International at Delphix. "Since it takes significant time and effort to move
and manage data, developer environments can take days or weeks to provision. In
turn, this places a strain on operations teams and creates time sinks,
ultimately slowing down the pace of application delivery."
The study shows that while TDM was once viewed as a back-office function, in
many organizations it has now matured and sits alongside cloud, DevOps, and
other IT initiatives within these organizations. TDM has emerged as a critical
business enabler for enterprise agility, security, and cost efficiency
supporting measurable outcomes including faster releases (30%), fewer software
defects (15%), and adherence to data privacy laws and regulations (100%).
Of all respondents, nearly half (45%) reported taking steps to improve TDM, and
a further 43% are confident that their organization will take steps to improve
TDM in the next 12 months. Businesses are increasingly looking to develop
automated, self-service strategies that allow developers to bookmark, reset,
archive, and share copies of masked data for software development.
"Driven by an increased focus on application uptime, faster time-to-market, and
lower costs, organisations have started to move towards a new set of strategies
for TDM," concluded Chidgey. "Increasingly organizations are making it a
priority to introduce processes and systems that reduce the time it takes to
deliver high-fidelity test data and anonymize information without sacrificing
speed."
About the survey
Over 225 respondents were surveyed globally over the course of two months across
17 industries, with significant representation from IT services (33%), financial
services (17%), and healthcare (10%).
