If you’re a developer, you may well be familiar with the scenario. You’re writing code and you want to test your changes against a copy of the production database. One that’s representative of the size and distribution characteristics and retains referential integrity so that, when your changes are released, they won’t result in a failed deployment that will take hours to resolve. But there’s a problem. The database copy you’re working with isn’t up to the job.

Data, and the way enterprises use data in areas like development and testing, has not traditionally been a focus for business leaders but that’s now changing. Data is more varied and complicated than ever before, for example, with enterprises using two or more different database platforms – and 40% using four or more. It’s also spread wider and further, with enterprises hosting their databases in a combination of cloud and on-premises infrastructures.

The role of effective Test Data Management (TDM) is often underestimated in the software development process, yet it is a cornerstone for ensuring quality, compliance, and efficiency throughout the software development life cycle. As Bloor say in their Test Data Management Market Update 2024, “… many enterprises are, to quote one vendor we spoke to, “still in the stone age” when it comes to TDM.

Historically, Flyway has been a migrations-based database deployment tool. It greatly improves database deployments by tracking what migration scripts have been executed against a target database and applying any pending migration scripts. Since Redgate acquired Flyway in 2019, we’ve been incorporating Redgate’s database comparison technology into the paid editions (Flyway Teams/Enterprise) so that users can benefit from the best of both worlds.
