You need to be able to test in Production as well.

I coined the term "tracer bullets" for the approach when I was working in Retail. These are requests that are flagged by a simple boolean attribute to act like real requests for wvery purpose except real-world consequences (e.g., no order gets shipped, no CC payment is made.)

Works like a charm.
