Test Account Management

🙋 Questions

Hi all,

Do any of you have experience of utilising a suite of test accounts? If so how are you managing them in terms of who is using it at any given time and capturing details around what application access each one has etc.

Ideally wanting a solution so I can audit/log use of test accounts in Azure, beyond just using an excel doc. The accounts will be profiled based on personas around role/location etc and use for automated tests in CI/CD pipelines and also manual testing. Utilising CyberArk for securing them in a safe and password rotation.

Any help/thoughts welcome. Thanks

Hi Sophie,

Thanks for asking on The Club. :slightly_smiling_face:

While not specific to what you’re looking for, perhaps Ioan Solderea’s
(@restertest) article might spark some ideas: Using Personal Data In Test Safely: How To Comply With the GDPR

Also, this one from Ashley Graf (@ashleygraf101) on Testability Methods to Enhance Exploratory Testing. They discuss test data generation and test accounts.

I’m unfamiliar with this one yet it sounds interesting: Techniques for Generating and Managing Test Data.
