Managing test data effectively is crucial for maintaining consistency, accuracy, and ease of access across multiple testing scenarios.
* Central Repository:
* Centralization: Ensures all test data is stored in a single location, making it easier to manage and maintain.
* Consistency: Reduces redundancy and ensures that all tests use the same data sets, avoiding discrepancies.
* Accessibility: Facilitates easier access and updating of test data by all team members.
* Best Practices: Creating a central repository aligns with best practices for data management and ensures that test data is consistent, accurate, and readily available for all testing activities.
