In which environment would you perform practice testing?

Practice testing typically occurs in the SUP environment, which stands for System Under Practice. This environment is specifically designed for training and testing purposes, allowing users to familiarize themselves with the system without affecting real data or operations. By performing practice testing in the SUP environment, users can safely explore functionalities, troubleshoot scenarios, and develop familiarity with the system’s features without the risks associated with manipulating data in live environments.

Other options, such as NOVA (which may refer to a development or pre-production environment), POC (Point of Care, typically related to clinical settings), and PRD (Production, where live operations occur), are not suitable for practice testing because they either involve real patient data or are intended for live operational use. In these environments, mistakes can have real-world consequences, making them inappropriate for practice testing.
