Production
Also called: Prod, Live
The live environment that real users use.
Definition
Production is the real, live system where customers use the app or website and real data and money are involved. Testing in production is done carefully and in limited ways, because mistakes affect real people.
In practice
After release, a tester does a quick check on production that the app opens, login works and the home screen loads, without placing real orders.
