Eventually you'd have to create data to test the code. I guess the real
issue is once you're complete with all of the code if you should begin a
move into production to input the data there. The only problem with this
is that doing so really defeats the purpose of production. I guess it
would make sense to have a "stage to production" sort of setup where
before you hit production you have it in staging for data entry. Then
from there push it into production.
