Abstract

In one aspect, a first request is received at a configuration server for access to a first virtual test environment. The first request is received from a first client device over a network and specifies one or more configuration options associated with the first virtual test environment. It is determined that a user of the first client device belongs to a first group out of multiple groups. 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.
