If you have a test server, and a production server. How do you sync the database?
Do you add the data in the test server first, just like you code in the test server?
How is that generally handled?

That depends on how coupled you can allow the two databases to be.
One configuration might be to have the two databases replicated with the production server in master configuration and the test server as slave. I would use caution with this method, unless you absolutely need the synchronization of live data with test infrastructure, don’t go down this path.
Instead, if you want to keep the two instances separated, just replicate with
mysqldumps.
