Test Environment Management Challenges
Key Challenges:
Speed and agility in test environment operations.
Lengthy test environment delivery timeframes.
Size and complexity of end-to-end test environments.
Developing the business case for operations.
Up to 28% of the overall IT budget of an organization based on studies put together by Capgemini and HP (2013) is
spent on maintaining permanent Test or Development Environments.

Test Environment Management Solution
Organization and Team Challenges increasing cost, lengthen delivery time
and increase delivery risk
 Lack of ownership with Infrastructure and Test Environments, no
dedicated Test Environment team
 Lack of test environment management skills that that produce errors
 Manual Test Environment Management processes and tools
 Team cannot recreate and effectively monitor environments
 Team cannot integrate multiple Applications Lifecycles and Test
Environments
…slowing deployment of solutions and decreasing agility
