Sandbox environment

The sandbox environment for Automation 360 Cloud enables you to test your production bots to ensure that these bots work seamlessly in your production environment. Use the sandbox environment to help plan and test new features for upcoming Automation 360 releases.

The sandbox environment is the same as any Automation 360 Cloud instance but includes updates from the upcoming new release at least 3 weeks before Automation Anywhere Cloud is updated.

Note: The sandbox environment should not be used as your production environment.

IQ Bot is not included in the sandbox environment.

The following image shows how a new build is tested in the sandbox environment before it is pushed to the production environment.
