A World of Warcraft (WoW) Public Test Realm is a realm that has the next unreleased patch or update data installed. This is open to anyone and is totally free for all users with active accounts. All you have to do is download the updated client. Blizzard uses these realms to test their unreleased updates, so they can make any amendments or improvements to the updates before it is released.
It is installed just like the live client, except it should go into a separate directory other than the one your live client is in.

∙ 13y agoThe Public Test Realm (PTR) is a separate realm that is used to pre-release new content and patches before they are implemented on Live servers. People are able to copy characters from their live account into the PTR, to see and test the new material. Using feedback from the PTR, bugs are fixed, game mechanics are balanced and tweaks are made.
