sandboxed
In testing environment
Sandboxed describes software, applications, or processes that run in a restricted environment isolated from the rest of a system.
A sandboxed program cannot access files, networks, or resources outside its designated space, limiting potential damage from bugs or malicious code.
The browser runs each tab sandboxed so a crash won't take down the whole application.
The term extends to any situation where something operates under controlled constraints: New hires are sandboxed until they complete training.
