Simulation and test environments
Distinguish local simulation from an integration sandbox and the requirements for live access.
ENVIRONMENTS
Three environments, three purposes
If the table is wider than its frame, scroll horizontally to see all columns; use arrow keys when the table region has focus.
| Environment | Purpose | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Local simulation | Learn requests, responses and exceptions using synthetic data. | Included; no network calls or cryptographic validation. |
| Sandbox | Test integration with a live system once access is issued. | Requires approved endpoint, contract and credentials. |
| Production | Operate under an accepted contract. | Confirm data, security, monitoring, support and ownership. |
