A test environment is a setup where information systems are tested before deployment. It mirrors the production environment, allowing developers to check for bugs, performance issues, and compatibility.

For beginners, I recommend using virtual machines (VMs) or cloud-based environments like AWS or Azure, as they are easy to configure and manage. Start by creating a separate environment to run tests without affecting the live system. Ensure it replicates your production setup to get accurate results. Tools like Docker and Jenkins can also help automate and manage test environments efficiently, making testing more accessible and effective.
