Development and Testing is very important when it comes to maintain and update the running Application Landscape. It is important the software development, code testing and deployment is progressed in phased manned i.e. development environment to acceptance environments before rolling out to Production environment. Recent example of massive MS Cloud outage in such a scenario, where there could have been a negligency while new software update was deployed to production environments.
