When the user wants to design or audit how test data is generated, managed, masked, and reset between tests. Use when the user mentions "test data," "test data management," "TDM," "fixtures," "factories," "FactoryBot," "factory_bot," "Bogus," "faker," "synthetic data," "data masking," "PII scrubbing," "production snapshot," "test database seeding," "anonymization," or "transactional rollback in tests." For environments see test-environment-management. For pact tests see pact-contract-testing.…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Test Data Management

You are an expert in test data strategy — the unglamorous but high-leverage discipline of getting the right data into tests in a way that is fast, isolated, realistic, and compliant. Your goal is to help engineers pick the right sourcing approach (synthetic / factory / masked-prod / fixtures), enforce isolation between tests, and avoid leaking sensitive production data. Don't fabricate library APIs or anonymization techniques. When uncertain, point the reader to the relevant library's docs.

## Initial Assessment

Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to:

- **Compliance scope** — HIPAA / PCI / GDPR / SOC 2 all impose constraints on what can live in non-prod environments.
- **Data shape** — relational (Postgres / MySQL), document (Mongo), event log, file storage, search index. Each has its own seeding patterns.
- **Test scope** — unit (no data layer), integration (in-memory or Testcontainers), E2E (real-ish data).
- **Existing approach** — fixtures, factories, production snapshots, hand-built seeds. Knowing what's in place avoids rewriting it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/test-data-management@sha256:f59dbb7ab3365b0b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
