Includes QuickStart Apps to quickly create custom business applications
Provides test environments for refining and testing processes
Allows process applications (metadata and data) from cloud to on-premises

The Runtime Environment:

Makes it easy for you to view, complete, reassign, and delegate tasks
Lets you stay organized with filters
Lets you share documents and collaborate with others on your team
Provides tools to track process flows, view detailed audit trails, troubleshoot, and fix processes

The design-time environment is also called Composer, and the runtime environment is also called the Workspace. The terms design time and Composer, and runtime and Workspace are used interchangeably throughout this guide.
