Importance of DTAP (Development, Testing, Acceptance & Production) environments
summary
DTaP = Development Testing Acceptance Production used here: code moves up through dev → test → acceptance → production while content and databases move down from production to acceptance to testing to development. Testing runs on the same server stack as production to catch PHP/library mismatches. For sensitive data use a production→acceptance copy and local test data; with WooCommerce avoid full DB restores, push only schema or file changes. Use git/Bitbucket with small commits for easy rollback and cherry‑picks. Naming examples: dev, alpha, beta or staging.
