Test Data Insecurity: The Unseen Crisis
Compuware Corporation and Ponemon Institute report the results of a global survey that seeks to understand how organizations in the US, UK, France and Germany use and protect live data for software development and testing purposes. According to our study, an overwhelming majority of IT professionals surveyed acknowledge that the data used for testing and development purposes is live and not “dummy” or disguised data. Disguised data is just as useful as actual data, but without the PII. But are companies aware that they are putting confidential data at risk?
In this white paper, you’ll learn the compelling facts surrounding how 879 IT professionals approach the security of sensitive data for development and testing purposes.

To do this, you need a realistic test data environment that satisfies the business rules of the application. Learn how you can create and manage a complete and realistic test data environment by creating baseline and test databases as well as generating data that can be used by your testers when they are performing functional/regression tests or performance/load tests.
Managing Offshore Development and Maintenance Projects
Any potential for offshore savings can erode quickly, unless companies assess the risk and focus on tightening project management processes first. If not, companies stand to lose time, quality, productivity or money. Consider the fact of hidden costs. CIO Magazine illustrates the point in its September 2003 issue. Based on research from Meta Group, Gartner and Renodis, CIO Magazine sited that extra costs resulting from such factors as transition costs and productivity lags can amount to anywhere from 15.2 to 57 percent of the total price tag for the offshore services. Companies, however, can significantly minimize risks and costs associated with offshore outsourcing by implementing both sound project management processes and appropriate tools. Learn how you can significantly minimize the risks and costs associated with offshore outsourcing.
