VIRTUAL TESTING ENVIRONMENTS

A first pool of resources is selected based on the user of the first client device belonging to the first group, wherein the first pool of resources are available to members of the first group but not available to members of a second group out of the multiple groups. A first virtual machine is provisioned using the selected first pool of resources that includes the first virtual test environment, the first virtual test environment including features associated with the one or more configuration options associated with the first virtual test environment. The first client device is provided access to the first virtual test environment.
