Test Data Management: The Last Manual Step in AI-Assisted Testing | Bloor Research

AI writes the test. AI runs the test. But a human still spends the morning preparing the test data. That last manual step has quietly become the bottleneck in AI-assisted software development. In this session, produced in collaboration with K2view, Daniel Howard, Senior Analyst at Bloor Research, brings an independent view of the test data management market: why some enterprises have industrialised their test data while others are still copying production straight into test environments, and what that gap is costing teams building AI-assisted software. What’s covered: What “test data management” actually means, and why it matters now Why test data provisioning is the overlooked bottleneck in AI-assisted testing The risks of copying production data into test environments: speed, security and compliance How leading enterprises have industrialised test data, and how to get there
