SPIKE: Explore Solutions for Anonymisation and Replication of Production Data to Testing Environments #945

Open nickaddy opened 1 year ago

nickaddy commented 1 year ago

Background Whilst efforts to generate dummy data for use on Develop and Staging environments have been helpful, the dummy data does not fully facilitate the testing of new features - the use of actual exercise data would ensure testing was much more accurate. Additionally, sometimes errors result from the dummy data. However, the solution must provide a sure-fire way of anonymising specific personal data, e.g. name, email address, NINO.

User Story As the Digital team, we would like to be able to work with real data in Develop and Staging environments so that testing of new features is more accurate and errors are not introduced due to data.

Feature(s) Description This is a spike only.

Estimate Medium = 2-5 days - M

Hey team! Please add your planning poker estimate with Zenhub @HalcyonJAC @tomlovesgithub

It is not agreed that we should implement this. Developers are worried about the risk of copying data from production and also thinking the anonimisation might remove problematic data
