Hi

We have completed the development phase and need to deploy the app to
the test environment. Needed to know what all things are involved in
setting up the test environment.
the application consists of Serviced Components and ASP.NET 2.0
pages/code and SQL 2005 database.
I think i would need the following:

Need to install the Serviced components on the test server
Copy over the ASP.NET pages and the precompiled Code behind.
However I should use the existing database server setup in the test
environment. I think it is a bad idea to backup the DEV database and
restore it to the TEST database, since it would already contain the
data that is supposed to get populated after you run the application
and play around with it right???
 
Why wouldn't your unit tests remove the specified test data
prior to starting the test. I don't see anything wrong
with restoring your dev database to test.
