Executing in test and production environments

During the development process, test execution takes place in the same IBM® Sterling Transformation Extender Design Server environment in which you develop your integration solution. Testing can be performed offline, using the Design Server, even when the planned execution platform, deployment mode, or adapter assignments differ from those used in the test environment.

You can configure your environment with multiple servers at multiple sites, and on multiple platforms. Alternatively, you can select a single server as your deployment environment. For example, you can develop a system that includes all the information about how to process payments. You can then provide this map to multiple locations in your company, for execution on different server platforms. The distributed sites do not need to know anything about your development environment.
