summary: >-
  Trisotech has no sandbox in the payments sense — no test-mode key prefix, no test/live
  environment split at the credential level, and no published test fixtures. What it does
  have is a genuinely strong pre-production story built into the modelling tools: a Test
  Endpoint that runs DMN TCK test cases against a published service, an input-template GET
  on every service execution endpoint, animators and simulators inside each modeler, and a
  Test Data API for managing named test data sets.
test_live_split:
  key_prefixes: false
  separate_environments: true
  note: >-
    Isolation is by execution ENVIRONMENT, not by credential mode. Services are deployed to
    named environments (POST /deployments/{bpmn|cmmn|dmn}/{environment}/...) and promoted
    between them via change requests, so a customer builds their own test/production split.
    The same OAuth token works against every environment its grants allow.

  - name: Test Endpoint
    type: test-runner
    url: https://cloud.trisotech.com/help/service-library/test-endpoint.html
    content_type: application/xml
    methods: [POST]
    format: DMN TCK
    format_schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmn-tck/tck/master/TestCases/testCases.xsd
    detail: >-
      Executes test cases either defined in the service at modelling time or posted in the
      body as raw XML. Returns a <testResult> document with one <testCase passed="true|false"/>
      per case. If no XML is posted, the model's own test cases run.

  - name: Service Execution input template
    type: dry-run-adjacent
    url: https://cloud.trisotech.com/help/service-library/service-execution-rest-api-endpoint.html
    methods: [GET]
    detail: >-
      A GET on a service execution endpoint returns a template of the expected input rather
      than executing it — a JSON skeleton with the service's input requirements, an XML
      context document, or an unstyled HTML form, chosen by the Accept header. This lets a
      caller discover the request shape without side effects.
  - name: Test Data API
    type: fixture-management
    operations:
      - testdataGet
      - testdataTypeGet
      - testdataTypeDelete
      - testdataTypeNameGet
      - testdataTypeNamePost
      - testdataTypeNameDelete
    detail: >-
      Named test data sets, addressed by type and name, managed over the Public API. The
      fixtures are the customer's own; Trisotech publishes no seeded example data.
  - name: Modeler animators and simulators
    type: local-simulation
    detail: >-
      Decision Animator, Process Animator, Case Animator and BPMN simulation run a model
      interactively inside the modeler before anything is deployed.

  note: >-
    A free trial is offered through a request form and a guided onboarding page, not an
    instant signup. No trial length or entitlement is published.
published_test_values: []
published_test_values_note: >-
  NONE. Trisotech publishes no test cards, test identifiers, magic values or hosted test
  tokens, because it is not a payments or communications provider — the fixtures are the
  customer's own models and data. Nothing has been invented to fill this field.
