Versioning data and models is essential because in AI testing the outcome depends on both the data you feed and the model you train. Tracking only the model version misses how changes in data or feature engineering can shift performance, bias, or drift. Tracking data version alone isn’t enough without tying it to the model and how it was evaluated. Recording evaluation metrics for each version lets you see how performance evolves as data or models change, and helps detect drift or degradation over time. Maintaining reproducible experiments with metadata ensures you can re-run past experiments under the same conditions—from dataset version and preprocessing steps to seeds, hyperparameters, and software dependencies—so results are trustworthy and auditable. In practice, this supports traceability, debugging, compliance, and better collaboration. Therefore, the recommended approach is to track data version, model version, evaluation metrics per version, and maintain reproducible experiments with metadata.
