So, when we write and test our application, we only care about the application itself, providing the libraries that the application requires precede application development, although this can be an iterative process. However, we want a test environment that looks as similar as possible to the final one, mainly because of the toolchain compatibility and also to avoid behavioral changes when we integrate the application into our product.
