### Explanation During development and testing phases, individuals often create test accounts, pages, or environments to validate functionality or complete service-related tasks. This includes: 1. Development Testing: Creating test profiles and content while building websites, apps, or digital services 2. Design Mockups: Setting up temporary pages to test layouts, branding, or user interfaces 3. Staging Environments: Deploying test servers and domains that mirror production systems 4. Feature Testing: Creating accounts to verify new platform features or integrations These test instances often remain accessible after their intended use, potentially revealing: - Development processes and methodologies - Technical infrastructure details - Connections to primary accounts or services - Historical versions of content or features ### Examples {{some links to articles, videos, etc}} ### Types - behavioural - technical ### See also - [[SOWEL-3.
