One thing to remember is that production data may not always be the best
test, as it may not contain all possible combinations of values in the
various fields. Just because it is production does not mean it is
comprehensive.
---------------------------------<unsnip>------------------------
Another drawback to using production data is this: all too often it's
already gone through a pre-screening process where invalid data is
filtered out. Such things as alphabetics in numeric fields, missing
data, etc.
