Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 838 discussion

D. Staging Development - Creating new code Test - Verifying the code works as specified Staging - Positioning the final code in as close to the real world as possible Production - Running the code in the real world Staging consists of non-functional testing and black-box testing and it’s done in a sandbox environment to enable aggressive testing of the application without risking any problems to the rest of the network.

D. Staging When wanting to test under "real world" conditions, you'd use a staging environment According to the study guide, Staging is a mirror of the production environment but may use test or sample data and will have additional access controls so that it is only accessible to test users. Testing at this stage will focus more on usability and performance

The answer is option D. Staging is absolutely where you SIMULATE the "real life" scenario similar to what you'd get in the Production environment.

D. Staging In my research on this most sources say whatever environment you do this type of testing in should be similar or identical to your production environment. That's a best fit for the Staging environment.

Overall, while both staging and test environments play important roles in ensuring the reliability of software and systems, the "Test" environment is specifically designed for comprehensive testing, making it a more suitable choice for assessing the impacts of major system upgrades and demonstrating system features in a controlled testing environment.

Staging (Option D): The staging environment is designed to closely resemble the production environment and is often used for final testing before changes are deployed to production.
