Note
Before proceeding to read the Advance Sandbox article. It is advised to read the Basic Sandbox article to understand the basics of sandbox functionalities.
¶ 1. Advance Sandbox Stages
In the advance sandbox, we have four stages, i.e., Dev (development), QA (quality testing), UAT (user acceptance testing), and Production (live). All users, i.e., Organization Admin, Workspace Admin, and End-Users, will have access to the live environments.
- Development (Dev): Your creative haven! Develop and automate solutions with confidence.
- Quality Assurance (QA): Test your creations with dummy data, ensuring they stand up to scrutiny.
- User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Real users, real data. Let the real users (end-users) test your solutions in an environment that mimics the live stage.
- Live: The grand stage! Roll out your solutions for actual usage, real transactions, and live interactions.
¶ 2. User Access Across Stages
The Organization Admin has access to all four stages and can switch between them as required. The Workspace Admin has access to the Dev stage and Live stage by default. Access to QA and UAT stages depends on whether the Workspace Admin has been granted permissions for testing purposes. If access to QA or UAT is not available, testing can still be performed in the Dev stage. In all cases, Workspace Admins can test their creations.
End-users, who are non-citizen developers, have access to the Live stage by default to perform real-time transactions and interactions. If permissions are provided, end-users can also access the QA or UAT stages and participate in testing the created or modified artifacts or solutions.
