After deploying a project, end users identified several bugs, which have been prioritized by the project team. The consultant needs to resolve these issues efficiently.
Development Sandbox:
Purpose: A development sandbox is used for coding and testing new features or fixes in an isolated environment.
Building Fixes: The consultant should develop the bug fixes in the development sandbox to ensure that changes do not affect the production environment.
Best Practices:
Isolated Testing: Developing in a sandbox allows for thorough testing without risking data integrity or system stability in production.
Next Steps After Development:
Testing: After building the fixes, perform unit testing in the development sandbox.
Quality Assurance: Move the fixes to a QA or staging sandbox for further testing, including user acceptance testing (UAT).
Deployment: Once validated, deploy the fixes to the production environment following change management procedures.
