Abstract

Systems and methods consistent with the present invention provides safe and secure application distribution and execution and controls the risk of providing a test environment associated with the testing of applications. Test enabled permissions are created and distributed to selected application test entities. A management function is used to aid in distributing the test-enabled permissions. The risk is controlled by providing closer scrutiny of the identity of the test entity prior to distributing a test enabled permission to the test entity, providing expiration times associated with the test enabled permissions, and limiting the number of test enabled permissions distributed. The management function tracks the distribution of the test-enabled permissions.
