in my shop, it would mean grabbing another backup of the "production" database and restoring it over the top of the Test Database that the developers and QA groups use for testing.

that way that database has the "latest" changes.

the process would involve either finding an existing backup + log files, or taking a new full back, maybe or maybe not with copy only, and then restoring it on whatever is considered the "test'd atabase.
