Preparing the Test Environment
Preparing the Test Environment
It is necessary to define separate, independent regions for the school test
and production data. Before proceeding with testing, verify that the
method defined is valid and that any test data created does not mix with
live production data within the school’s environment. The school test
environment must have the ability to modify the system processing date.
