# Avo Assure Client

Use this section for effectively using the client settings in Avo Assure. These suggestions help you to ensure smooth communication between the server and client machine, and optimize overall test execution performance.

* **Scenario**: Test executions fail even when the application is working correctly if the configured timeout is shorter than the application's actual response time.\ <i class="fa-lightbulb-on" style="color:yellow;">:lightbulb-on:</i>**Tip & Trick**: Navigate to the Avo Assure Client **Settings** and locate the **Time-Out** **Configuration**. Increase the **Global Time Out** value to be slightly higher than the application’s average response time. This adjustment prevents false failures caused by temporary network lag or slow server response.
* **Scenario**: Sometimes web executions get stuck, or the browser not close properly after a test run. These remaining processes can interfere with subsequent executions and cause unexpected failures.\ <i class="fa-lightbulb-on" style="color:yellow;">:lightbulb-on:</i>**Tip & Trick**: Open the **Avo Assure Client** and select the **Kill Stale Process** button before you start the next execution. This action closes all background tasks and ensures a clean environment for the new test run.
