GDPR (general data protection regulation) and what it means for software testing and delivery. Guest Tom Pryce, Communications Manager, Curiosity Software, brings his knowledge to ep2 of Why Didn't You Test That? What GDPR Means For Software Delivery.

We’re exploring plenty of ideas including: was the grace period of 2 years prior to GDPR legislation a call to arms for organisations to shore up clarity in their IT estates? Who are the gamblers and sceptics? What have been the implications for data provisioning regarding data minimisation and process limitation, particularly for software testing and delivery?

From this to also considering what if you reduced the attack level through using synthetic data in the lower environments? What’s the difference between the data subject and the data processor related on premise? Also, how does this all impacts having access to PII protected characteristics in data provisioned to non-production environments.

And finally where should you be paring back on the use of live data to know the flows between systems for assisting in migration You’ll also hear about how the fine caused by a cloud migration that the Norwegian DPA (data protection authority) said could have been avoided being levied by way of using synthetic data and less production data.
