Yes, you can turn off these stages in your Node.js Auto DevOps pipeline:

*   To turn off the Test stage, add the `NODE_JOBS_TEST` environment variable in Code Studio and set it to `false`. This setting also disables all jobs in the Test stage. For more information, see [Adding environment variables](https://docs.acquia.com/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/code-studio/customizing-code-studio/default-code-studio-pipeline/environment-variables#section-adding-environment-variables). To disable certain tasks in the Test stage, see [Environment variables to enable or disable a CI/CD job](https://docs.acquia.com/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/code-studio/customizing-code-studio/default-code-studio-pipeline/environment-variables#section-using-environment-variables-to-enable-or-disable-a-cicd-job).
*   To turn off the Deploy stage, add the `NODE_JOBS_DEPLOY` environment variable in Code Studio and set it to `false`. This setting also disables all jobs in the Deploy stage. For more information, see [Adding environment variables](https://docs.acquia.com/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/code-studio/customizing-code-studio/default-code-studio-pipeline/environment-variables#section-adding-environment-variables).
