Episode 34: A new approach to test data management

Welcome to episode 34 of Inside The Outer Loop. In this episode, the Curiosity team explore a new approach to test data management, one that aligns with the test data needs of large organisations. 

The conversation begins with Huw and James discussing the challenges organisations face in test data management as they approach 2025. The introduction of AI is seen as a potential solution, but James stresses the importance of a structured approach to test data management through their new framework: Discover, Act, Monitor. 

Discover
Gain full visibility into your application landscape. Understand what data exists, how it’s structured, where it’s located and who uses it for more informed decision-making.

Act
Intelligently execute on actionable insights gained from the discovery and monitoring phases of your test data journey.

Monitor
Proactively govern your test data and leverage AI-driven insights, to help you anticipate issues, optimise processes, and ensure compliance across your whole enterprise.

This approach describes how organisations can effectively discover their data, act on insights, and continuously monitor changes to maintain data integrity and quality.
