What is a sandbox development environment?

Sandbox development environment is a replica of the production environment where you can plan, build, test, and deploy new features or settings.

What can you do with Salesforce Sandboxes?

Plan, build, test, release, and observe new features 30% faster without affecting your live data. Keep your Salesforce CRM up to date and productive.

Plan and build.

Build new features or updates swiftly in a secure environment, eliminating concerns about disrupting the business operations. Admins and developers can start small with Developer or Developer Pro Sandbox and use it to build new applications or automation processes. You also can use Scratch Orgs for parallel development and automated unit test processes.

Test.

To mitigate downtime and errors, conduct thorough testing. Admins can use either Partial or Full Copy Sandbox to ensure the functionality and quality of the implemented features or settings with real data. Additionally, verify user accessibility to new features through user acceptance test and user training.

Release and observe.

Upon completing all tests, release the features or settings to the production environment and commence their utilization for business growth. Remember, ongoing observation and support for the released elements are crucial. Equip admins with Full Sandbox, a complete replica of production, to identify and address issues without impacting business operations in case of any complications.
