Test data management

Realistic-but-fake insurance data is hard to get right — so solve it once, properly. The rule underneath everything: no production PII in lower environments (UK GDPR).

The rules​

  • No production PII in non-prod — ever. Lower environments use synthetic or fully-scrubbed data.
  • Versioned synthetic seed datasets for insurance entities — policies, claims, parties, rating tables — generated by agents from the schema + domain brief rules.
  • Refresh runbooks — how to regenerate and reseed, kept current.
  • Edge-case data — the datasets deliberately include the boundary cases (acceptance criteria) so tests can exercise them.

Why it's a shared standard​

Every squad needs realistic insurance data, and every squad getting it wrong (or reaching for production data) is a compliance incident waiting to happen. One well-made synthetic dataset generator, shared, removes both the effort and the risk.
