Test Environment Management - Infuse Consulting

What is Test Environment Management?

Test Environment Management (TEM) is a series of procedures designed to enhance the pace of software releases within organisations through collaboration among team members. This involves capturing environment requirements, instituting a straightforward and transparent utilisation of resources, fostering efficient cooperation via resource planning and scheduling, and maintaining control over their lifecycles.

This crucial practice facilitates the optimisation of the software delivery process by furnishing delivery teams with validated, stable, and readily available test environments at the necessary times. These environments are instrumental for executing test scenarios and replicating incidents with precision.
