test environment
A test environment is a controlled setting where new software, updates, or changes are evaluated before they are released to the public. It allows developers and testers to identify and fix issues without affecting the actual users or live systems. Similar to a practice space for musicians, a test environment mimics real-world conditions but is separate from the main operation. This ensures that any problems are caught early, maintaining the stability and security of the live system while ensuring the software works correctly.
