Test Data Management and the Software Development Lifecycle
with Forrester Research Senior Analyst David West

In today’s application development landscape, the focus is on increasing organizational efficiency to be more agile. Being agile does not mean sacrificing process, as some may think; but rather using smaller and more focused iterations to see quicker results. To achieve these results, development teams must be able to quickly and easily build the testing environment or the entire process can fail.

In this IBM webcast, David West, Senior Analyst for Forrester Research will discuss:

• Software development lifecycles and their components
• The importance of Test Data Management to successful software delivery
• Requirements for Test Data Management as a part of the software development lifecycle

David West brings real world experiences as an analyst, a consultant working with organizations to implement software development processes, and the former manager of the Rational Unified Process (RUP). During this webcast, Mr. West will help you to understand the requirements for Test Data Management as a part of any software development lifecycle.

David will review the different methodologies that organizations use, including RUP, SCRUM, and Agile. He will also discuss why Test Data Management is so critical to successful software delivery. David will be joined in this session by Eric Naiburg, IBM Product Marketing Program Director for Integrated Data Management at IBM.
