I'm wondering if Bitcoin has a testnet. I've heard about testnets being used for experimental features and testing new updates without affecting the main network. Is such a thing available for Bitcoin? Does Bitcoin have testnet?

It is used for trading coins that have no associated value, primarily for testing purposes.
