Salesforce Developer Development-Lifecycle-and-Deployment-Architect Question # 16 Topic 2 Discussion

The architect should recommend generating mock data that mimics production data shape and volume, and performing data masking on full sandbox after a refresh. These options allow the team to create realistic data sets for testing without violating the regulations that prohibit the use of production data in non-production environments. Requesting a partial sandbox copy after the next Salesforce release is not a valid option, as partial sandboxes are refreshed on demand and not tied to Salesforce releases. Using Query Analyzer in production is not a way to perform data volume testing, as it only analyzes the performance of SOQL queries.
