Software environments (development, testing, staging, production)

Question

In software engineering, there are often multiple "environments" the codebase exists in:

• development
• testing or qa
• staging
• production

What is the Spanish term used for "environment," and how are each of these environments translated?

Answer 1

The Spanish word for "environment", in this context, is "entorno". So, we can talk about:

• Entorno de desarrollo ("development")
• Entorno de pruebas ("testing")
• Entorno de producción ("production")

Update: As for "staging", I have seen the English word itself being used as a loanword, as in "entorno de staging". But, as others have pointed out (thanks, Javi and Ricardo), "entorno de pre-producción" is often used, as well.
