Your Test Data Environment: Build vs Buy - a conversation we need to have

Feb 4, 2026 By Steve Jones In Redgate
After three decades of working with databases, one thing I’ve seen over and over is this: we don’t treat our development and test environments with the same respect we do our production systems.
