01. Test Data is a reusable, manageable, and maintainable asset.
Why it’s important:
Test Data is the most critical and costly component of testing. Reuse dramatically cuts the cost to create, maintain, and manage this important test asset.
Test Data by its nature is highly reusable. Binding data to tests forces the use of redundant data and makes the data costly to maintain.
Visibility into test condition coverage greatly increases coverage and reduces the risk of significant coverage gaps.
