Ticket #37301, comment 2
initial v1 11 11 You're right. The security aspects of such a feature have to be considered. This is not a small feature that can just be slapped on top of core and hope it works for most people. The feature needs a lot of careful thought about how to implement it in a safe manner. 12 12 13 As for the not understading part, some good hosting providers already do provide an on-demand staging environment sandbox feature, similar to what the plugin does. In terms of U I, having a "sandbox for tests" is a fairly easy thing to understand even for the less technical user. Especially after something's gone wrong in a previous update.13 As for the not understading part, some good hosting providers already do provide an on-demand staging environment sandbox feature, similar to what the plugin does.

However, proper visual regression / functionality acceptance testing (done in a headless browser) is hard and still requires a sandboxed test environment. Simply running a bunch of unit tests doesn't actually tell you if the site works the way the user expects.
