For most of last week testing of my web app using Express Checkout was impossible because I was getting 500 error responses when trying to use the sandbox. After days of waiting, and a support request from MTS, the issue spontaneously rectified itself. My support question at MTS was then answered as "everything's working all right". Of course it was - by then.
Now today the sandbox is malfunctioning again, this time sending back 400 errors.
How is it possible to test a commercial web app when the sandbox is so frequently not working?

Hello,
The sandbox environment is a testing environment and as such isn't as robust as our production environment. We're aware of this and have plans in motion to try and rectify this during the year.
An alternate solution is to submit transactions within our production environment for low value amounts and refund them afterward.
Apologies for any inconvenience
