Qualitia Automation Studio (QAS) is a script-less test automation platform that makes building, executing, and managing automation tests simple, fast, and easy. Using the script-less approach you can easily develop and automate tests without any tool or programming knowledge.
You may have to install one or more components based on your role to get started with automation testing. QAS gives you the provision to install all these components on the same machine and different machines as well.
This documentation covers the necessary prerequisites, hardware & software requirements, and architecture of the QAS.

Let’s learn what Qualitia Client is and how it works.
|
Mobile Automation
Qualitia Client internally uses Appium 2.5 for mobile automation. Appium server uses one free port for local communication with mobile automation engine.
Mobile automation engine uses one free port for local web socket communication with Qualitia core client.
Three free ports for local communication are required for android native streaming, web view, and chrome driver.
Similarly, iOS automation requires three free ports for native streaming and web driver agent.
A free port is required for launching and communicating with emulator/simulator.
NodeJS 16 and npm 8 are required as a prerequisite for Appium 2.5.
Web Automation
Qualitia client internally uses Selenium 3.14 for web automation.
Web recorder and web object spy are browser extensions that are injected into the browser so that Qualitia can learn objects.
The Qualitia engine uses one free port for local web socket communication with core client.
The web recorder and web object spy use one free port for local communication with the core client.
Desktop Automation
Qualitia client needs UFT 15 and above as pre-requisite for desktop automation.
Two Free ports are required for local communication with UFT for desktop automation.
