Hello, does anyone know if it is documented anywhere that a test environment
should be physically and logically seperated from the production environment?

Thank you,

Richard Tracy

No.
In the end you do what you can - but have a test environment.

Logic says that it should not have direct interaction with your production
environment <- otherwise what is the point of having a test environment - as
it could corrupt your actual production environment if given the
right(wrong) access.

My test environments - to be honest - are usually encapsulated in a virtual
environment.

I'd assume that is the purpose of a "test" environment. You don't want your
tests to affect your production environment. You don't want to hear some of
the horror stories I've seen with companies installing all their test stuff
on production servers, messing up Active Directory, permissions, Exchange
and what not.
