<strong>The</strong> <strong>Significance</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Management</strong><br />

<strong>In</strong> S<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>Test</strong>ing<br />

Developing a s<strong>of</strong>tware and launching it is a complex task comprising <strong>of</strong> web<br />

tools, procedures and several systems. <strong>In</strong> this huge world <strong>of</strong> technological<br />

development, there are various challenges faced by the developers to make<br />

sure that the s<strong>of</strong>tware developed by them is compatible with every kind <strong>of</strong><br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware as well as hardware environment. For ensuring the success <strong>of</strong> the<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware, the best practice that can be made is proper management <strong>of</strong> the test<br />

environment.<br />

While moving on in this article, you will find the importance <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Test</strong><br />

environment management in the s<strong>of</strong>tware testing.<br />

First <strong>of</strong> All, What is <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong>?<br />

Once a s<strong>of</strong>tware is developed, it is necessary that the s<strong>of</strong>tware consists <strong>of</strong><br />

certain supporting structures like hardware, OS, servers, network and a lot<br />

many things are considered. <strong>The</strong>se units create an environment for the<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware. Simply, a test environment is the function in the s<strong>of</strong>tware delivery<br />

process which will mentor the s<strong>of</strong>tware testing process by <strong>of</strong>fering a validated<br />

and stable test environment.


And, What About the <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Management</strong>?<br />

<strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Management</strong> is a process taking place during the s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

delivery process that helps in the testing cycle by providing a stable<br />

environment for the testing <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware products. <strong>The</strong> management <strong>of</strong> test<br />

environments is necessary for the enterprises in order to launch a smooth and<br />

error free. <strong>The</strong> management <strong>of</strong> the test environment is comprised <strong>of</strong> certain<br />

important tasks such as<br />

• Creating New <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong>s whenever required.<br />

• Allocate the <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong>s to the Respective Teams.<br />

• Maintain the <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> & Monitor the Various Components <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong><br />

• Resolve the issues found while the testing process.<br />

A <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Management</strong> process is practised at various stages. Let us<br />

have a look on the stages <strong>of</strong> the test environment management.<br />

• Development <strong>Environment</strong><br />

• System <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong><br />

• Performance <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong><br />

• Acceptance <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong><br />

• Production <strong>Test</strong> <strong>Environment</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> only aim <strong>of</strong> the test environment or the test environment management is<br />

to release the s<strong>of</strong>tware to the end user with perfect and wonderful<br />

functioning. Once the test environment is properly managed, the final<br />

production would be perfectly functioning. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Test</strong> environment management<br />

aims at overcoming the problems like network, memory, speed and many<br />

others by building a test environment that is entirely similar to the final<br />

production environment.<br />

With the good test environment management, one can easily improve the<br />

quality, reliability, and the flexibility <strong>of</strong> the test environments and as a result,<br />

shorten the s<strong>of</strong>tware cycle by letting the website owners launch their s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

sooner than decided.
