I have two databases in my development desktop which is tied up using transactional replication. I want to test my application on a Development server. Which I guess is very much similar to the production server.Will the replicated databases work fine if I just move them to the development server or shall I move the databases to the the target server and do the replication procedure again.
Please advice.

You can do it in a couple of ways. You can get the latest backup from prod server and restore the same copy onto both your dev servers and then setup replication with no initialization. Or, restore the prod copy onto one of the dev servers and initialize. I recommend the first method.
