Unit testing has
So, this, 'test environment', this is just like a directory where I
place my code and associated files to test for the existence (and
non-existence) of various stuff, right? Any real-world examples/case
studies to point to?
It seems like there are a lot of people on this list interested in

You have to build a test environment.
This needs to be carefully planned to enable every test condition
