Best way to make multiple "dry runs" for testing a new environment

Dena Ahlers

I am recreating some of our current pages that have a confluence page and a ConfiForm page. They have connections to multiple pages that are all being recreated.  I need to perform testing before moving these pages to our production environment.

At this time I created a Dev environment in its own space, I created the pages within the dev environment and tested everything.  I then created an inactive page within our production environment space, copied the pages from the test environment, renamed the form names, etc to point to the new pages.

I need to do 2 more dry runs but I'm not sure if I can create multiple pages in the same space.  Does anyone have a best practices when performing a change like this?

Thank you for your help

Hi @Dena Ahlers 

 

You can create multiple pages in the same space. Sometimes, you may not need to create test pages in another environment depending on what you are trying to do. In a lot cases, I just use my own personal space in production to test things out like a template. If I'm testing an add-on proof of concept, I would use the Dev instance before deciding to purchase and deploy it to the Production environment. 

Hope this helps.
