You can also install the Agile.Now Factory platform in a development environment for testing purpose. However, it is recommended to install Factory in Lifetime environment for security reasons.

OutSystems Lifetime token and API

It is recommended that you put the Agile.Now Factory and Agile.Now DevOps Service applications on their own team and then remove the visibility of the applications from everyone except the OutSystems Platform administrators. This eliminates a potential security threat by application developers to using the LifeTime_IS module API calls. LifeTime token is encrypted in the database and is handled exclusively in C# binaries. More information is available hat here.

For the purpose of testing its possible to install Agile.Now Factory in the development environment which is however not recommended.
