Yes, this will be valuable one aspect of having a test setup is proper control 
of PII alone with having a test setup. How do you test the Whimsy workbench?

Agreed.

For now, it’s enough to know that the whole Tooling Team should be involved. 
Please use [email protected]

Let’s have a discussion about the proper test environment. Given the need for 
test LDAP and SVN along with a special mailing lists and email addresses, 
standing up a Whimsy test environment on the same host as the Dev Tooling 
environment would be the proper approach. We do have the production puppet 
configurations from Infra.

Please describe how the current tool is developed and tested.

Best,
Dave
