Testing a Copy of the Production Database
Working with a current copy of your production data will give you information about how to structure the testing process and how long it will take to complete. Typically, your first conversion will be the longest and the most difficult.
- Copy your production data into your development or prototyping environment before beginning the technical upgrade steps.
- As you progress through the upgrade project, continue to work with accurate, current data.
- Maintain a fresh copy of your data. This ensures the highest data quality and will accurately estimate how long the upgrade data will take to convert.
