See [Set Up Joule Studio, classic edition](https://help.sap.com/docs/Joule_Studio/45f9d2b8914b4f0ba731570ff9a85313/04b323352fa645238211ce017f634d34.html) or the [Discovery Center mission](https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/missiondetail/4651/4940/). ## You will learn - How to create a test environment - How to create destinations in SAP BTP Cockpit to connect to backend systems - How to configure destinations to be used with actions ### Create an Environment for Testing Joule Skills 1. Open the SAP Build Lobby. > The lobby is a central page for creating, accessing, and managing your projects in SAP Build. 2. Choose **Control Tower**, then choose **Environments**. ![Control tower](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/sap-build-process-automation/main/tutorials/joulestudio-skill-environment-setup/joulestudio-controltower.png) 3.
