Plan your environments

StagingPro comes with three license tiers.

For the Standard Tier two Staging Environments are provisioned in addition to the Production Store.

For the Plus Tier, three Staging Environments are provisioned in addition to the Production Store.

For the Premium Tier five Staging Environments are provisioned in addition to the Production Store.

The suggested best practice for naming the staging environents is as follows:

1st Staging website: Staging

2nd Staging website: UAT

3rd Staging website: Integration1

4th Staging website: Integration2

5th Staging website: Integration3

Before you start, you must plan your environments so it will be setup correctly in StagingPro

To do this, prepare a tabulation of the environments assigned for use with StagingPro for ease of reference as follows:

Proposed environment name	Store Hash ID	Description

Proposed environment name	Store Hash ID	Description
Production	a123b321	This is the live store
Staging	a432c456	This is the pre-deployment store for smoke tests
UAT	a723d367	This is the user acceptance store configured for production builds
Integration	b648ce56	This is for system integration checks

Doing so will help you to determine:

The correct environment names before linking/association tasks
Distinguish between production and non-production environments (as any migration tests must happen in non-production environments first)
