How to setup testing LAMP environment to work with outsourcing companies?
- by Kelvin
Hello Guys,
I need to setup testing LAMP environment in my office to work with outsourcing companies.
This is what I think should be done on my side:
Setup testing web server with the same configuration as on production
Setup testing SQL server with "fake data"?
Outsourcers should have access only to some part of original code
Outsourcers should use CVS to update their code
Once testing is finished someone releases the update
............
How would you separate original code and database from testing environment, but keep it as close as possible to production?
What is the general practice for setting up testing environment and how other companies deal with outsourcers?
I will appreciate for any of your thoughts and ideas from your personal experience. Maybe someone can suggest some article on this topic.
Thank you a lot!
