Q: Following Go-Live (in addition to Production), which CWS-CARES environment(s) (e.g., staging, readiness, training, etc.) will remain available to organizations so that users can continue to "practice/train" in a non-Production environment?
A: Following go-live, counties and organizations will maintain access to multiple environments in addition to Production. This multi-environment structure enables them to develop and test county-specific forms and reports, conduct ongoing practice sessions and staff training, and support continuous learning without disrupting live operations.
Available non-production environments include:
Available non-production environments include:
- Training Environment – For staff training and onboarding
- County/Organization Dev Environment – Specifically for forms and report authors to continue development work. This environment will have non-production (test/simulated) data
- Readiness Environment – For ongoing practice and readiness activities. This environment will have production data (refreshed from the Production environment at a yet TBD interval). Can also be used for testing county-developed forms and reports against production data
