Test data wait times are slowing AI adoption more than code ever did

AI and CI/CD have sped up code creation and deployment, but many organizations still wait more than a day—and sometimes weeks—for production test data.

Manual provisioning and approval steps are now the bottleneck, making test data management a key constraint on software delivery speed.

Perforce Delphix research points to automated, governed self-service access to masked and synthetic data as the fix.

In regulated industries like healthcare, financial services, and insurance, fast access to realistic test data is critical to AI adoption.
