Systems and methods for testing and deploying LDAP applications are disclosed. A test application may be tested in a test environment including a test directory. The test application may change data stored in the test directory. Furthermore, the test directory may be configured to receive changes from a production directory in a production environment. When the application is ready to be deployed, changes to the test directory are migrated to the production directory through reverse replication or application data migration. The application is configured to connect to the production directory, and the application is thereby deployed in the production environment.
