well, whatever runs in production, you're going to need a copy of it in testing. usually means a lot of batch and then testing the onlines/applications' user access. I found it always helped to keep a testbed of data for batch/db's, then write an automated batch job scheduler that edits all the JCL and control cards so that they point to testing libraries/files instead of production, plus remove all the proc steps that you don't want to run (emails, data xfers, etc.). Sadly, there aren't enough of me to go around...
