Test Environment

 

Definition: A test environment is a setup of software and hardware on which the QA testing team is going to perform the testing of the newly built software product. This setup consists of the physical setup which includes hardware, and logical setup that includes server operating system, client operating system, database server, front end running environment, browser (if web application), IIS (version on server side) or any other software components required to run this software product. This testing setup is to be built on both the ends – i.e., the server and client.

What this means: A fully functional test environment enables the QA team to ensure the software works before being implemented in the client’s environment.
