# How do I keep test and production data apart?

**Do my tests distort the reports?**

Metrunio keeps them apart itself, so your tests do not distort the reports: every event from the assistant and the live test carries the environment “test” and is excluded from standard reports. In “Setup” you delete all test data with “Reset test data”; first it shows you what will disappear.

1. Every event from the assistant and the live test gets the environment “test”.
2. Standard reports show production data only.
3. You can look at test data deliberately under “Customer journeys”, “Orders & goals”, “Channels & attribution” and “Events”, each with the “Show test data” switch (under “Orders & goals”: “Test data”).
4. In “Setup”, choose “Reset test data”. You first see how many test events, test journeys and test identities will disappear, then confirm with “Delete permanently”. Production data stays untouched.

Test events do not count towards your plan’s event quota. You can test as often as you need to.
