## Methods of testing Sandbox/Production: {#methods-of-testing-sandboxproduction-br}

### 1. Reference Application {#1-reference-application}

> * Our Spring Boot Reference Application acts as an API client and allows you to integrate different operations.
> * For detailed steps, follow our [Reference Application](https://developer.mastercard.com/business-payment-controls/documentation/reference-app/index.md).

### 2. Postman {#2-postman}

> * [Postman Collections](https://www.postman.com/collection/) is an API client that allows developers to test your API's calls in sandbox and production environments without writing any code. This makes sharing pre-formed API requests with partners extremely easy, and permits partners to run individual API requests or those within a folder or the entire collection.
> * For detailed steps, follow our [Postman Collections](https://developer.mastercard.com/business-payment-controls/documentation/postman-collection/index.md) Page.

### 3. Insomnia {#3-insomnia}

> * [Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest/) is an open-source API client that developers use to quickly and easily send REST requests to Mastercard APIs. API Consultancy \& Standards developed an [Insomnia Plugin](https://github.com/Mastercard/insomnia-plugin-mastercard) for handling API authentication.
> * Follow our [Insomnia Tutorial](https://developer.mastercard.com/platform/tutorial/use-insomnia-rest-client-for-mastercard-apis/) to learn how to test the Business Payment Controls OAuth API using Insomnia.
