Different Environment In Software Development

What are the different environment in software development team?

1. Local Environment
2. Test Environment
3. Production Environment

Local Environment:

A local development environment allows you to use your own machine to run your website, instead of using one provided by a web hosting company.

Test Environment: 

As the name suggests, this is where the software is tested. Test Environment consists of elements that support test execution with software, hardware and network configured. Test environment configuration must mimic the production environment in order to uncover any environment/configuration related issues.

Production Environment:

This is the final environment that we are targeting, where the software will be used 'for real'. So this is the environment at the end of the chain of environments, and where everything must work properly, must perform adequately, must be reliable, and must have suitable protections in terms of security, backup and change control.
