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.
Qualitia uses some third-party software components, most of which are bundled with Qualitia. Some software components cannot be bundled with the Qualitia installable due to their respective licensing policies.
You may have to install one or more components based on your role to get started with automation testing. Qualitia gives you the provision to install all these components on the same machine and different machines as well.
Qualitia Automation Studio Server Prerequisites
Qualitia has a client-server architecture. Qualitia server acts as a connection point for multiple Qualitia clients. This server should be up and running all the time and should be accessible by Qualitia Clients.
You are recommended to have a machine dedicated for the Qualitia Server.
Processor | Intel Core i3 64-bit supported processor with 3.4 GHz or higher speed | |
|---|---|---|
Memory (RAM) | Minimum: 8 GB Recommended: 16 GB | |
Hard Disk Space | Minimum: 500 GB Note: Qualitia recommends the Administrator to review disk usage periodically in the initial weeks after installation to assess execution patterns and storage consumed. This helps to determine the appropriate size requirements for the organization. | |
Operating System Support | Only 64-bit version of the following operating systems are supported:
| |
| Software Prerequisites |
| |
| Privileges Required | Local Administrator privileges (for installation of Qualitia Server) | |
| Communication Ports TCP (Inbound) | The following list indicates the communication ports for each component:

All the port numbers mentioned above are the default communication ports used by these applications. In case you are changing the default ports, you must open or unblock the corresponding ports.
Data Store Server
Qualitia Automation Studio clients connect to Qualitia data store server to store and retrieve test cases, execution results, and other related information. You can use RDBMS server for storing project data based on your preference.
Qualitia recommends that you must restart the server at least once a month or when the memory consumption is about to reach 4 GB. You can check the memory consumption from app.log present in the RealTimeReport logs.
