1. A computing device for providing access to multiple databases within a testing environment, the computing device comprising:

  • memory having multiple instructions; and

    a processor coupled to the memory and configured to, in response to executing the instructions, instruct;

    a snapshot component,wherein the snapshot component is configured to create a clone of a snapshot, andwherein the snapshot is of a volume of data containing developer build data; and

    a management component configured to mount the clone of the snapshot to a virtual machine to provide the virtual machine, within a testing environment, with access to a first and second database,wherein providing the virtual machine with access to the first database enables the virtual machine to manipulate the clone of the snapshot of the developer build data, without affecting the volume of data containing the developer build data,wherein providing the virtual machine with access to the second database enables the virtual machine to test the developer build data on production data stored in the second database;

    a request component, wherein the request component is configured to provide a user interface to the virtual machine within the test environment that;

    lists versions of the developer build data available to be accessed by the virtual machine, andreceives a selection of an available version of the developer build data to be accessed by the virtual machine.
