Zuora Developer Sandbox

Zuora Developer Sandbox is a testing environment with similar settings and configurations as your Production environment.

Developer sandboxes have copied configuration data from your production system, ensuring that your developers are always developing in a system that is identical to your production environment. In comparison, API sandboxes are ideal for experimenting but are likely configured very differently than your production systems.

Some of the benefits of the Zuora Developer Sandbox:

Integration development
Integration testing
Latest configurations from production, such as product catalog, workflows, notifications, and settings, and ability to automate the population of master configurations to speed your development
Frequent refreshes for agile and iterative development processes
Self-service tooling for continuous integration and continuous development
Self-serve actions, including refreshing and viewing ETC from the UI
Refreshes every two weeks
Erasure of data upon sandbox refresh so latest configuration and settings copied from production

The following table lists what configuration data is copied from your production environment to Developer Sandbox.
