Tests

Has the data that will allow to test and develop each of the features been identified?

Precisions

The precision and conciseness of the test set data allows to reduce the impacts of the development, test / Q&A phases. It also allows to validate the definition and coverage of test cases which contributes to the final quality of the software. The test data is visible, manipulated outside the security constraints of production, and is therefore less well protected. It should not be a source of information leakage that could be detrimental to the actual users of the service.
