# Grid Management

Grid execution in Avo Assure allows users to efficiently run a large number of test cases across multiple systems by utilizing the Avo Grid. This distributed approach helps optimize execution time by parallelizing workloads and reducing the time required for test completion.  

The Avo Grid works as a central system that smartly assigns test cases to available machines based on which agents are active and how much capacity each system has. It ensures optimal resource utilization and seamless coordination of test execution across environments. 

### Prerequisites for Grid Execution 

Before initiating parallel/distributed execution, ensure the following configurations are in place: 

[**Agent Configuration** ](/avo-assure/administration/agent-management/install-and-configure-agent.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** At least one agent in the created Grid must be **active** for the test execution to start.
{% endhint %}

### Technologies Supported for Distributed Execution

* Web
* API
* Database
