The Importance of Metrics in Test Environment Management

Development Environments
For developers, this test environment is preferable to quality. It’s a syntax of processes and
programming tools which are used to create the program or software product. Every group
of developers expects to have a system up and running all the time, built in response to
activity in an SCM system. This system is usually used by a developer to run continual tests
to ensure code quality.
Production Standby Environments
It is just as a backup system if you want to push an immediate patch to production then you
need to have a system that matches currently available production. These are called
emergency systems that are used rarely, but when used it is the most important
environment for the organization. It is common for the companies that take calculated risks
and repurpose these environments for testing and QA during a major release.
Staging and Integration Environment
Staging exactly resembles the production environment, while development and integration
can possibly be the same in the case where developers do not use a local copy of the source
code. Development groups may have separate QA and Dev servers, but when it comes time
to integrate these systems into the whole you need to separate staging and integration
environments, this can change infrequently in response to large release events requiring
wide scale collaboration.
Large organizations might have several application and IT environment management tool
which might use 30 or 40 environments, and if the application is complex then each
environment involves databases, services, caches and other systems. A procreation of
environments is often the driving factor behind IT budgets, as hardware and systems can be
added quickly.
