A sandbox environment is a testing ground where software, applications, or configurations can be tested in a controlled and isolated environment without affecting the production environment. In this safe space, developers and testers can experiment, make changes, and identify and resolve issues without disrupting the live system.
Sandboxing offers several advantages: it enables teams to test updates or new features without compromising the stability of the production environment; facilitates collaboration by providing a shared testing ground for multiple users; and enhances security by isolating potential threats from the main system.
