Oracle RDBMS has some blob, clob and other features that could make it better than most artifactories for this and there is even NFSv4 seever to serve data as FS out of it. But even if you have DB of results of tests, you can sort of look at it as a kind of artifact repository. Although it is usually taken as separate type of data. | |

| Mar 10, 2017 at 16:34 | comment | added | Tensibai | @Pierre.Vriens I mean there's so much things fitting the name 'test datas' (from simple number to millions files via sample DB records) that it's too broad without context. | |
| Mar 10, 2017 at 16:26 | comment | added | Tensibai | @Pierre.Vriens for your test datas, that's hard to day, if your tests data are a DB, that doesn't fitting an artifact notion. For escrow, I've no idea as is, if the questions are focused enough that sounds ok to me. | |
| Mar 10, 2017 at 16:24 | comment | added | Pierre.Vriens♦ | Interesting, that even confirms my thinking (guessing) even more. 2 things: your perforce-link needs fixing and extra question: would you agree that "keeping track of your test data" (the input you used, and the output you got) could be considered as such artifacts also? And BTW, this answer reminds me about "verification levels" used in the area of "software escrow" (if you're familiar with that). I start to wonder of software escrow topics should be considered as on topic for DevOps ... Maybe @Tensibai might want to comment on that also? | |
