Not so. The code may be the same, but the code is the map, not the territory. The code is not enough to understand the territory, even with mock data, c.f.

Our staging environment contains data that matches Production as closely as possible, but was not sufficient in this case and the mock data we relied on to simulate what would occur was insufficient.
