Deb, perhaps I am misreading your question, but it appears you want to get item information into a CD environment? That is typically done via publishing, as your items are only really deployed to a master database and then publishing transfers them to the Web database referenced by a content delivery server.

If you are not running a Test content management system and only a test CD instance, then you can achieve the item transfer by having a publication target within Sitecore which targets your Test CD web database. You would need to add this to your connection strings and also in the database as a publishing instance, and then your CM can pubish to Test CD

Typically, you don't copy directly from dev to test. Instead, you serialize your items and put them into source control with your solution. Then your deployment process will sync the environment you are deploying to with the serialized items. TDS and Unicorn are the two main tools used for this.

You can either sync directly against the serialized items or you can build packages that are then deployed with something like Sitecore.Ship
