Probably an obvious query, but has anyone tested the view that "live "data -
that will in due course be put on a new system & "used" shouldn't be test
run on that system? One view is that it will go on anyway so why worry,
another is that its a different purpose - testing the system cf providing a
service.
The latter tends to attract the narrow pedant response, but is I suspect
right - especially if the testing is being done by AN Other - the supplier
of the system or whoever......
If right, I wonder if others specify that suppliers of new IT systems must
test any new system with dummy data that they bring, not assume access to
our live data.......
Welcome views.
