I've been doing Zoho Creator/Deluge development for about eight months.  I come from a PHP/Laravel background.  While there are many things to love about Creator and Deluge, I see two main challenges as my code base becomes larger:

Testing/Dev Environment - Sandbox is a great idea, but without the ability to dump my database and load it into the sandbox,  the sandbox is useless.  Instead I use a recovered back-up and cut and paste the code back-and-forth.  It works, but very kludgy.  Any better solutions?

Code Management - I organize my functions by namespace.  But how do you see which functions call a function you are editing, other than to hit "delete" and see the warnings about which functions are using that code. 

Also, is there a straightforward way to mimic class inheritance or interfaces?  I find myself writing the same functions for every Form (class).

I appreciate any thoughts or input!

cheers
