A sandbox is a virtual environment that allows testing or running applications without affecting the main system. A sandbox can isolate the applications from the rest of the system, preventing any unwanted changes, errors, or security risks. A sandbox can also be easily reset to the initial state, discarding any modifications or data generated by the applications. A sandbox is a useful tool for stress testing multiple applications, as it can:
- Simulate different scenarios and conditions for the applications, such as high load, low memory, network latency, etc.
- Monitor and measure the performance, stability, and resource consumption of the applications under stress.
- Compare and analyze the results of different applications or different versions of the same application.
- Identify and fix any bugs, errors, or vulnerabilities in the applications before deploying them to the main system.
