Critical data: the missing link in your application change process

Data now plays a crucial role in controlling software logic

Data now plays a crucial role in controlling software logic through application parameters or configuration data. This critical data often bypasses the stringent controls for source code changes, conflicting with the business need for quick adaptation.

Business users sometimes bypass these controls by changing settings or configuration data to alter the running application. While dynamically reconfiguring data can be easy, it can lead to chaos if not carefully managed. Even if only IT staff can change configuration data, the problem persists. Without similar controls for configuration data as for source code, developers and testers can unintentionally or intentionally cause issues.
