## Credential test and production accounts

If you are using [change control](https://www.tines.com/docs/stories/change-control) in a story, you may want to test changes with your developer environment before deploying them to the live story. You can define test credentials in the `Test credential` tab of the Credential. Additionally, you can define related, non-sensitive information about your test environment such as a domain or id in the test metadata section of the `Test credential` tab. In stories with change control enabled, the Test Credential and any test metadata will be used in any `draft` of the story by default. See our [change control](https://www.tines.com/docs/stories/change-control/#use-different-resources-and-credentials-in-a-draft) section for further details.
