Managing Environments

You can run tests on different environments than they were created. You can create tests in production and test on staging easily with Preflight.

By default Preflight saves every environment you've created tests in. (e.g. dev.preflight.com, staging.preflight.com, app.preflight.com, www.preflight.com etc)
