Pathologic is a text filter for Drupal which allows one to link to other pages on the Drupal installation in such a way that the links will always point to the correct page, even after changes are made to the Drupal installation or its data which would change the URIs of its pages; for example, if Clean URLs are toggled, if the data is moved to a different server (perhaps from a testing server to a production one), if the subdirectory of the Drupal installation changes, etc.

Based on your example, how do you keep the menu links from breaking in a test environment and production environment?

Thanks for your help.

Nevermind, those are handled by drupal when you enter the link as a relative link /nametolink.

Precisely. Pathologic is designed to only function on node content which is run through a text filter (so usually whatever's in the node's Body field). It couldn't touch menu links even if it wanted to, but as you found out, menu links do not have the problem that Pathologic is designed to solve.
