cussed above is repeatability. When designing the Data 
Sanitization routines it should be realized that they will eventually become a 
production process – even if the data is only destined for test environments. In other 
words, the data will need to be sanitized each and every time a test database is 
refreshed from production. This means that Data Sanitization routines that are easy to 
run and simple to maintain will soon recover any extra development effort or costs.
