test servers

Test servers are dedicated computers or systems used by developers and IT teams to evaluate new software, updates, or configurations before they are applied to live environments. They mimic real-world conditions, allowing for safe testing without risking the stability or security of active, customer-facing systems. Once testing confirms that everything works correctly and securely, the updates can be confidently deployed on the main servers used by users. In essence, test servers act as a controlled sandbox environment for troubleshooting and quality assurance before making changes public.
