# Strategy for Testing and Importing the Data

This section discusses running the script to test the `.xml` data and to create time sheets from the `.xml` files. In summary, the recommended strategy is to perform the following sequence of tasks:

- Using a few `.xml` files, run the script in test mode on a TEST instance, which validates the source `.xml` files but does not create time sheets, and correct any resulting errors

- Using the same `.xml` files, run the script and create time sheets on the TEST instance, and correct any resulting errors

- Configure all the `.xml` files that will later be imported as time sheets on the production instance

- Using an appropriate subset of those `.xml` files, run the script and create time sheets on the TEST instance to evaluate the CPU resource demand of the script and to determine an optimal number of threads for the script to use

- Using a few `.xml` files, run the script in test mode on the production instance to verify correct operation

- Using all the `.xml` files, run the script and create time sheets on the production instance, and correct any resulting errors
