On today’s show we’ll be test talking about data strategies in testing with Paul Merrill, Principle Software Development Engineer in Test and Found at Beaufort Fairmont, a consulting company dedicated to ridding the world of bad code.

Many of the testers I know have a testing or automation framework strategy, but most seem to overlook having a data strategy in place. It doesn’t matter what automation framework you’re using; if you haven’t planned how you will manage the data your tests need in order to interact with the system(s) under test, you’re in trouble.

A data strategy is a combination of procedure and infrastructure that affects the way tests interact with data to simulate your systems under test. That’s what today’s show is all about. Check it out.
