Sandbox (software development)
open-in-new
<h2 id="in-web-services">In web services</h2> <p>The term sandbox is commonly used for the development of <a href="/facts/Web_services/qxrwqB3D">web services</a> to refer to a <a href="/facts/Mirror_website/n9mBsW8j">mirrored</a> production environment for use by external developers. Typically, a third-party developer will develop and create an application that will use a web service from the sandbox, which is used to allow a third-party team to validate their code before migrating it to the production environment. <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> <a href="/facts/Google/GT9Sugza">Google</a>, <a href="/facts/Amazon_(company)/YzUTUVE8">Amazon</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> <a href="/facts/Salesforce/jEqXM3Gr">Salesforce</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> <a href="/facts/PayPal/tlShukIa">PayPal</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> <a href="/facts/EBay/bDswVAKB">eBay</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> and <a href="/facts/Yahoo!/nKhTaV3M">Yahoo</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> among others, provide such services. </p> <h2 id="in-wikis">In wikis</h2> <p><a href="/facts/Wiki/uCKCEzqb">Wikis</a> also typically employ a shared sandbox model of testing, though it is intended principally for learning and outright experimentation with features rather than for testing of alterations to existing content (the wiki analog of source code). An edit preview mode is usually used instead to test specific changes made to the texts or layout of wiki pages. </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Comparison_of_online_source_code_playgrounds/J7ydxWNB">Comparison of online source code playgrounds</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/OS-level_virtualization/gkLoCrgN">OS-level virtualization</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Pastebin/1w4qzvcu">Pastebin</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Sandbox_(computer_security)/WEm2u7oG">Sandbox (computer security)</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Sandbox_effect/6WXLR0gM">Sandbox effect</a> (search engines)</li> <li><a href="/facts/Sandbox_(video_game_editor)/jbgUIbGr">Sandbox (video game editor)</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Sandbox_game/P3tRCdXP">Sandbox game</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"Sandbox".
