Effective Strategies for Test Environment
Management

• The organizations are expanding on a daily
  basis and to manage such a large company the
  activities are also increasing. With new
  activities, the task of managing and keeping the
  record of data also increases. In such
  situations, it is very important to strategize
  the management of everything. This can be made
  easy with the techniques of test data management.

• It is one of the easiest forms to manage your
  data storage efficiency. Test environment
  management oversees the functions of test
  environments and assures that everything is
  working according to the schedule. Some best
  practices that will help you ascertain the test
  environment are

Assign Environment head

• Although it is known that the test
  environment is a tedious task, an effective way
  to manage it in a better way is by assigning
  individual head for each environment. This
  reduces the workload that was earlier borne by
  many individuals. Having a single reporting
  authority makes it easy for the employees as well
  as the managers to have full knowledge about the
  functions of the environment.

Document Everything

• Having everything written down is one
  improved way of recording the events happening in
  the environment. Starting from resource
  scheduling and incidents to configurations of the
  test environment. There are even certain software
  packages that assist in recording and managing
  such data. Shared documents and spreadsheets are
  low-cost approaches.

5
Virtualization

• This reduces one of the major and commonly
  faced conflicts between development and testing
  teams. The virtualization technique allows
  identifying each test environment as developers
  can now add custom as well as existing template
  images.

6
Reassess Test Environment

• Last, but not the least factor that
  determines the success of test data management is
  that regular assessment. Determine on regular
  intervals what is working and what is not, if any
  environment needs to be improved. Take into
  consideration what the testing, as well as
  developing team, requires. Thus these approaches
  should be followed effectively if you are working
  in a very large organization. Ownership,
  documentation and assessment are the pillars for
  establishing an effective management in a test
  environment. So implement them carefully for
  better results.
