Typically, organizations with software solutions, like mobile apps, client portals, CRM systems etc., have a staged delivery approach that contains the development, testing, acceptance and production (DTAP) cycle. Value drivers for such approach are enhancing the quality of work, shortening the time-to-market and boosting collaborations between developers and development teams.
Testing and development with representative data is essential. Using original production data seems obvious, but is not allowed due to (privacy) regulations in the development, test and acceptance stages. Alternative test data solutions are not able to preserve business logic and referential integrity.
