For Windows

Now that you're familiar with the system and browser requirements, let's quickly go over its installation requirements for Windows.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Server Side: A server in Avo Assure is a dedicated system that operates the Avo Assure application, overseeing and executing automated testing tasks. It coordinates test processes and manages resources.

Web Server Specifications:

Hardware-

CPU	RAM	HDD
4 Cores 2 GHz	16 GB	200 GB

Software-

OS: Windows Server 2012 or above

Browsers: Mozilla Firefox version >= 52.0, Google Chrome version >= 62.0, IE Edge Chromium version >= 80.0, IE Edge version > 44.0, Internet Explorer version >= 9.0.

Database Server Specifications:

Hardware-

CPU	RAM	HDD
4 Cores 2 GHz	16 GB	1 TB

Software

OS: Windows Server 2012 or above

Others: Avo Assure uses MongoDB to store data.

MongoDB requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC as a prerequisite.

Note: If the above software is not installed, then it can be downloaded from- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685 The above URL contains two files-

vc_redist.x64.exe  and vc_redist.x86.exe.

Download and instal both the fiels in the server system.

Screenshot Directory

Screenshot Directory is a shared network location in the database server or any other system where the captured screenshots are stored. This location should be accessible by ICE. The device/system where screenshots are shared should have adequate disk space.

For Windows-based systems, every backslash (\) should be replaced with a double backslash (\\). For instance,

\\server\images\screenshots\ becomes \\\\server\\images\\screenshots\\.

SSL Certificates

Avo Assure web server runs on HTTPS hence providing secure communication. An X.509 certificate, or an SSL certificate, is a digital certificate used to verify that a public key belongs to the user, computer, or service identity contained within the certificate.

For seamless integration with third-party applications, we recommend using a certificate signed by a publicly trusted CA authority like DigiCert or Let's Encrypt. So, to use any other set of certificates, two files are required from the certificate issuer: CERT file (public key) and Key file (unencrypted private key). E.g., If the server machine is in the example.com domain, then the certificate and key files will be required for the example.com domain.

Dashboard Database Server Requirements

Avo Assure Dashboard uses PostgreSQL for storing data. The source for data fetched into the Dashboard is the Avo Assure Database. An adapter called AvoAssureDashboardStreamer is used to fetch live data from Avo Assure DB to Dashboard. This adapter requires Java (Java SE Development Kit 8 or above).

---

Client Side: Avo Assure enables clients to interact with applications under test as directed by the server. It provides an interactive environment for users to monitor their testing processes effectively.

Hardware

CPU	Memory	HDD
Dual-Core 1.4 GHz (x64)	8 GB RAM (64-bit)	50 GB

Software

OS: Windows 7 and above

Others: MS Office

Browsers: Microsoft® Internet Explorer version >= 9, Mozilla Firefox version >= 52.0, Google Chrome version >= 62.0

Note: The above resource specifications are only for running Avo Assure Client. Please provide sufficient resources to run the application under test and other software installed on the machine.
