Virtual test environment for webpages with automation features

Abstract

A test environment as described herein allows for testing webpages prior to deployment to a website. More particularly, a virtual test environment allows a developer to virtually test webpages instantiated from representations of webpages stored in a repository. In an example of testing, upon a change to a webpage of a website, one or more virtual test environments may be instantiated to test the webpage and associated webpages. In an example of test environment functionality, the test environment may generate templates representing webpages from a base template representing a set of features common to the webpages. Furthermore, a centralized computer may be used to coordinate templates representing webpages by, for example, managing naming. The centralized computer may further track virtual test environments. In a further example of test environment functionality, templates representing webpages may be generated from webpage source code of the webpages.
