# BMS Testing Environment Guidelines

BMS provides three environments for testing:

- **QAT1:** [http://bms-qat1.services.conexusnuclear.org/BMS/Login.jsp?logout=true](http://bms-qat1.services.conexusnuclear.org/BMS/Login.jsp?logout=true)
- **QAT2:** [http://bms-qat2.services.conexusnuclear.org/BMS/Login.jsp?logout=true](http://bms-qat2.services.conexusnuclear.org/BMS/Login.jsp?logout=true)
- **UAT:** [https://bms-uat.services.conexusnuclear.org/](https://bms-uat.services.conexusnuclear.org/)

### **Environment Purpose**

**QAT1 & QAT2 – Functional Testing Environments**

- Used for early and ongoing testing of new features.
- Initial testing for new features may occur in either **QAT1** or **QAT2.**
- You may log in <span style="text-decoration: underline;">**as yourself or as any other user** </span>using the *“Login As Other User”* function.
- This allows you to test workflows such as approvals, role-specific features, and permissions.
- All sensitive data in QAT1 and QAT2 is **synthetic** to avoid exposing real information.

**UAT – Final Validation Environment**

- Used for final testing before deploying to PROD.
- UAT mirrors the production environment as closely as possible.
- Users **cannot** log in as other users unless they have been granted System Super Admin permissions.
- Features are only promoted to UAT once they have passed initial testing in QAT1/QAT2.

### **Email Behavior in Test Environments**

No real emails are sent from **UAT, QAT1, or QAT2**.  
Instead, all outgoing emails are delivered to the shared **Testing Mailbox** ([Mailpit - Conexus DEV Mail](http://devmail.services.candu.org/)), which you can access via the **“Dev Mail”** button.

In Mailpit, look for emails tagged by environment (e.g., **UAT**, **QAT1**, **QAT2**) to verify email notifications during your testing.
