You can set these environments up just like you did for your production environment. A test environment is a mirror of the production environment, so all of the same data should be available for you to test and run reports accurately. Notably, you can clone your production environment to accomplish the test environment. With the test environment set up, you can rest assured that you are adequately prepared to roll out the new changes and updates to your organization when the time comes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbb22a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bbb22a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Step 2: Read Software Documentation to Prepare For the Software Upgrade<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23f5099 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23f5099\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You must have a complete understanding of when you should upgrade, especially if you are making a large jump in versions, for example, if jumping from v6.0 to v18.0. These large jumps can often come with massive changes or even interface overhauls. Likely, these changes were made subtly over the 12 interstitial versions, but jumping from 6.0 to 18.0 will leave you with many changes at once. What\u2019s the best way to prepare for that? Read your software documentation and ask your provider to clarify anything that isn\u2019t immediately understandable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d667d5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d667d5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Step 3: Run an Installation Test to Determine How Long Installation Will Take<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-897b4cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"897b4cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Running and installation tests would be beneficial for planning the installation to avoid any unnecessary downtime. In addition, running an install test will allow you to anticipate and prepare for any unavoidable downtime that may occur. When software providers release patches or new versions, the users need to install the updates quickly to ensure optimal compliance, security, and effectiveness. Users running on old software are subject to bugs, missing features, and eventually security risks as it becomes no longer supported. Consider Operating System upgrades that your PC reminds you to do if you put it off too long. Oftentimes, if you look up the patch online, software experts and developers will list the important security flaws or bug fixes that the particular patch rectifies. By putting it off, you leave yourself exposed. Finally, depending on the size of the update, the time for completing the update could vary. If you prepare beforehand, you can plan for when this will occur.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ef60ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4ef60ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assetworks.com\/fleet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/04\/testing-software.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-867\" alt=\"testing on software\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.assetworks.com\/fleet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/04\/testing-software.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/www.assetworks.com\/fleet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/04\/testing-software-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.assetworks.com\/fleet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/04\/testing-software-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.assetworks.com\/fleet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/04\/testing-software-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b260a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1b260a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Step 4: Ensure Any Changes in Settings Are Caught in Test Environment<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b32d180 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b32d180\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );text-align: var(--text-align);background-color: transparent\">Much like the previous section, the test environment has numerous ways that you can discover issues that could trip you up before they get a chance. One notable section that users will often overlook is the \u201csettings.\u201d Any settings that you have may not be available in the same capacity as the new settings.
