For me, a staging environment is one kind of testing environment.
The main point of the staging environment (servers, software and all) is that it’s supposed to be quite close to the production environment :
Basically, the staging environment should allow one to check if the application works in a production-like situation.
As for “testing” environments, I usually use this word for more than one kind of environments :
Note that the first two environments will generally have more debugging /profiling / analysis tools that what you’ll have on your production (and, so, staging) servers.
