You are tasked with testing a new software update in a controlled environment before a full deployment. Which best practice should be conducted to minimize the risk of impacting the production systems?
Directly implement the change in the production environment
Sandbox testing involves setting up an isolated environment that replicates the production setup. This allows you to test new updates, changes, or software without affecting the live environment. Using sandbox testing helps ensure that any issues are identified and resolved before implementing changes in the production environment. Other practices, like performing risk analysis and submitting change request forms, are equally important but come into play at different stages of the change management process.
