# Agent Management

**Avo Agent** is a collection of multiple Avo Clients that acts as a bridge between the system and clients which helps in **parallel and distributed execution.**  

Agent execution refers to running multiple test cases across different browsers, devices, or environments. This allows test cases to execute reducing overall execution time and improving test efficiency. 

In Avo Assure, execution is achieved by distributing test cases across multiple clients with the help of an Avo Agent, enabling flexible and efficient parallel/distributed test execution.  

### Prerequisites

Before proceeding with parallel/distributed execution, ensure the following are in place:

1. **Avo Agent Installation**\
   Avo Agent should be installed either from the Landing Page or the Admin tab.
2. **Client Configuration**\
   The required number of clients should be initialized within the Avo Agent.
3. **Agent Status**\
   The Agent should be in an **Active** state for execution to begin.
4. **Independent Test Cases:**\
   Ensure that all test cases are designed to run independently. Test cases should not depend on the outcome or data of other test cases.

**Note:** If the test cases are dependent on each other, use **E2E (End-to-End) Execution** instead of Agent execution.
{% endhint %}
