- Software is consumer centric - Working with a large group of people - Expertise in specialized area(s) is required

- Necessity in end user scenarious simulation - Not enough resources/ time, clear product requirements and overall strategy - Access to global talent and diverse set of skills.

Testing catalyzed through test data generation and management

• - Confidential information gets exposed to testers

•- A breach of this data can lead to serious damage

• - Test data management ensures the availability and security of the test data by obfuscating it on large scale testing engagements.

• - Lots of testing vendors are now researching on various methods to mask this data

• - ‘Test-only’ data help maintain

• privacy and security

How is QA going to change? • – More testing by End user 5%
