Is there a sandbox in bitcoin for testing?

Is there a sandbox in bitcoin for testing, so that i can create sample bitcoins with out mining and do transactions as a testing purpose.

update:

I installed the software(bitcoin-qt) by following this link:

which are:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin    
sudo apt-get update    
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

If you want to run bitcoin/bitcoind with testnet, just use -testnet flag. – Karel Bílek – 2013-11-30T08:54:09.167
