Sandbox

Sandbox is a testing environment where merchants can see how functions will behave before they set them on the actual account servers. In other words, it’s a virtual environment that lets users test and build updates. The environment protects running servers from any errors that might occur.

It’s a vital part when it comes to upgrading. Though the developers’ primary aim is to develop some features, the errors in code may have severe consequences. The sandbox provides the minimum required features to fix up the developers with a safe testing environment.

Virtual servers are what makes possible to divide ‘live’ servers from the testing ones.

There are various sandbox types. Sandboxes’ primary aim is testing. Nevertheless, there are 3 helpful options as well.

• Use for QA. It may become a great tool for QA teams thanks to its nature. As sandboxes stand at the forefront of testing and optimization, QA specialists may evaluate possible problems.
• Use for customers. The environment enables sellers to give the customers sneak peeks. By offering a demo on a new product or updates to existing, sellers can enlarge & retain the customers’ base.
• Use for internal needs. As companies usually run various projects, the sandbox can give a helping hand. It checks projects’ compatibility to predict how they will act when  going ‘live.’
