live /li:v/ adj.,adv. [common] Opposite of `test'. Refers to actual
   real-world data or a program working with it. For example, the response
   to "I think the record deleter is finished" might be "Is it live yet?"
   or "Have you tried it out on live data?" This usage usually carries the
   connotation that live data is more fragile and must not be corrupted, or
   bad things will happen. So a more appropriate response might be: "Well,
   make sure it works perfectly before we throw live data at it." The
   implication here is that record deletion is something pretty
   significant, and a haywire record-deleter running amok live would
   probably cause great harm.
