sandboxes
Kids dig here
Sandboxes are enclosed areas filled with sand for children to play in, or in computing, isolated environments where code can run without affecting the broader system.
The computing sense captures the same idea—a contained space for safe experimentation: Test the new feature in the sandbox before deploying.
To sandbox something is to isolate it this way.
