# Overview

> Learn how to test your integration in the sandbox.

Argyle's sandbox environment provides a way to develop and test your Argyle implementation using sample payroll accounts. You can experiment with the same functionality and data points that are available when connecting real payroll accounts.

To get started, make sure you have an account and are able to sign in to Argyle Console. [Get started for free](https://console.argyle.com/sign-up) if you haven't signed up yet.
