We have a webapp which is an ecommerce site, and we have another web app (data migration tool) whose main purpose is to bulk upload data to the ecommerce site.
We then have 3 environments we can deploy these web apps to. One is production, one is Staging, and last one is test environment.
My issue is that on Staging, we do regression test of the ecommerce site there but they also want the data migration tool be tested on the same environment.
I think this is wrong and told them it could lead to us not being sure if there is really a regression on the ecommerce site or the data migration tool is the problem. They argue that we just don’t do it simultaneously and it should be fine, which I still think may pose some problems or inefficiencies in the future.
I’m looking for arguments that can support my side so they’d agree that it’d be best to do the migration tool testing on a separate environment.
This migration tool btw is planned to be used around twice a month in case this is relevant.
