Clone the Production Environment: Create a copy of your production environment, including templates, subscriber lists, and settings.
Use Test Data: Populate the staging environment with
test data instead of real subscriber data to ensure privacy and avoid accidental sends.
Set Up Email Clients and Devices: Test the emails across various
email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) and devices (mobile, tablet, desktop) to ensure consistent rendering.
Conduct Comprehensive Testing: Perform different types of testing such as
A/B testing, spam testing, and rendering tests to identify any issues.
Review and Approve: Have a team review the emails in the staging environment and approve them before moving to production.
