What percentage of WordPress sites have a staging environment?
Source:- Why Your QA Team Needs A Dedicated Environment For TestingAlmost every website is having a staging environment irrespective of the fact whether it exists on Wordpress or not! In my opinion i would say about 75–80% active wordpress sites have a staging environment due to the following reasons:Sense of Reliability – Staging environment helps in ensuring the reliability of our code, pipeline, infrastructure & overall product.Test cases can never suffice – Even if you have a team of sound engineers and quality analysts, it is not possible to anticipate every single way in which your product would be used by thousands or millions of your customers. Especially, in terms of User Interface.Hastens Disaster Recovery – This is vital if you are offering a SaaS where one outage could result in losing a large number of valuable customers. Every service if made to deploy through a common pipeline then various teams can push one another’s code if needed, allowing the team to perform disaster recovery plans more rapidly.Dev Environment is ever changing – With Agile Scrum Development, the demands of end users are ever changing, increasing fluidity in terms of the state of a product. It becomes nearly impossible for a QA to find a time window for performing a complete round of regression testing.You can set up a staging environment for Wordpress using XAMPP.

How can I make my PHP application installable just like Moodle, Joomla and Wordpress?
Installation of a PHP app is actually process of creating configuration file.I will assume that you’re already using configuration file where you store environment specific variables (if you aren’t, you should do it). Through the installation process you need to collect data from user and generate configuration file.Create simple form/wizard and ask your user for the info. Once your form is submitted and valid, dump data in config file (JSON, PHP array, .ini file …) and you should be ready to use the app.Some of configuration variables:Database host (e.g. localhost)Database nameDatabase userDatabase passwordWeb app base URLAPI keys (e.g. Google maps …)TimezoneDirectory paths (e.g. uploads target directory)TipsMake sure your configuration has proper permissions set and it is not publicly available. If you can access your config file via browser, it is a security issue.Check database connection during the installation to prevent possible errorsCheck if defined folder paths exist and are writableMake sure that once your config is created (app is installed) nobody else can access your install script and override parameters.If you’re using a versioning tool such as Git, make sure you ignore configuration file since it is environment related and may contain sensitive information.
