From the readme

Test Mode Core, plugins and theme go into Test Mode. There are three possible modes for each module. 1. no change ✅ 2. test mode 🚧 3. disabled 🚫 The admin bar shows the current WordPress environment and each module's mode with a status emoji. Available modules - WP Environment: sets WPENVIRONMENTTYPE to staging in test mode, or local when disabled. - Disallow robots: sets blogpublic to 0 in both test mode and disabled mode. - Cron events: stops cron requests in both test mode and disabled mode. - Action Scheduler: stops queue and asynchronous request processing in both test mode and disabled mode. - Mail: redirects all outgoing mail to the site admin in test mode. Disabled mode uses FluentSMTP simulation when available, or blocks mail at the WordPress level otherwise. - Outbound HTTP requests: allows only same-site and explicitly approved requests in test mode, or disables all HTTP requests entirely. - MakeCommerce payment gateway: uses the sandbox in test mode, or disables its payment and shipping methods entirely. Recommended plugins - Airplane Mode: disables external assets, avatars, or embeds. - Debug WordPress how-to Add your own module Implement Module interface.
