Worksoft Certify System Requirements in a Windows Terminal Server Environment

When using Worksoft Certify in a Windows Terminal Server environment, you will need to install the following applications on the same server:

Worksoft Certify client
Any application under test, such as an SAP GUI application
Any third-party tool, such as SmartBear® Software TestExecute™

System Requirements

If you are using Terminal Server, you will need additional system requirements. These requirements are recommendations based on field usage of Worksoft products for a typical IT organization. Before you purchase your server hardware, consult with your Terminal Server administrator.

Component	Minimum Requirements	Recommended Requirements
Supported Operating System	Any Microsoft Windows operating system supported by both Certify and your current version of Terminal Server	Any Microsoft Windows operating system supported by both Certify and your current version of Terminal Server
CPU	8 processor cores	8 processor cores
RAM	Physical server: 8 GB (supports 10 concurrent sessions) Virtual server: 16 GB (supports 10 concurrent sessions)	Physical server: 32 GB (supports 24 concurrent sessions) Virtual server: 56 GB (supports 24 concurrent sessions)
Storage	2 GB available disk space per user	2 GB available disk space per user

Calculating RAM Per Server

The maximum recommended RAM per server is calculated using the following formulas:

Physical server

Minimum RAM requirements + 2 GB per each additional concurrent Certify client session (maximum 24 concurrent sessions per server)
Virtual server

Minimum RAM requirements + 3 GB per each additional concurrent Certify client session (maximum 24 concurrent sessions per server)

Since RAM is typically packaged in 4 GB or 8 GB modules, the result of the calculation should be rounded to the nearest 8 GB boundary.

Based on the number of concurrent Certify client sessions needed, apply the appropriate calculation to determine the required RAM.

Example:

To support up to 20 concurrent sessions on a virtual server, you will need 48 GB RAM.

Minimum 16 GB + (3 GB x 10 additional sessions) = 46 GB.

Round to nearest 8 GB boundary = 48 GB.

No more than 24 concurrent Certify Client sessions per server are supported. The limitation of 24 concurrent users is based on the recommended number of CPUs. To support more than 24 concurrent Certify Client sessions, additional servers are needed and load balancing is recommended.
