This is super hard. I do not quite understand how people can abstract away the complexity of data and state. We seem to do this for configuration and for systems but when it comes to a user has this property at this time with this value then everything goes out the window. I am still not sure what the best approach is, maybe if the system is small enough but crossing boundaries of systems it feels like this all goes out the window. An alternative approach to test data might entail capturing the state of a user at a given time and reproducing that in the staging system or disabling changes in the production system for that user to reproduce an issue. This feels like one of the last properties software teams think about in development.
