Test environment refresh (Refresh from Production or other mirrors) – Typically this refresh can be either incremental or complete. This would result in erasing the current data in the test environment and populating the same with latest production code. In case of refresh all test data in the test environment would be erased. ii. Static Data setup – All static data in the test environment can either be setup manually or the environment can be refreshed only for static data flash.
