While this topic really isn't mainframe related it does
point out that we need to be careful about who has access to
production data and that an organization may need to
rethink how it
creates test data. If test data is normally a copy of
production (or
subset thereof), security needs to be as strong in the test
environment as it is in production. It may also mean that
test data
has to have personal information scrambled.
When testing a brand-new hospital database system,
everyone was entering and updating records to get a feel
for it, and to try to break it. Most people entered
records for themselves. Someone got very surprised when
the record I created for myself didn't have correct
data. Everyone else was using their real personal data.
