Wait a minute... You guys don't test in PROD?

LOL... j/k. :P

Architecture design and Agile now compensate for the traditional compile/test procedures... DEV > STAGE > PROD

When it's practiced with discipline it works well, catching most issues prior to the system going down anyway on deployments to PROD :)

Of course I do. No other environment is identical to prod, real data, real users, real scale.

All depends on the nature of your app of course... But I've managed to do pretty accurate simulations with modern tools in Stage environments, and to regularly sync my STAGE and PROD environments on high traffic sites with safer test results... Different strokes I guess.
