System requirements
Hardware and Software recommendation
Before you install Provar, check that your machine has the following:
- For best performance, 16 GB RAM is recommended. The minimum system configuration is 8 GB RAM. You should also have at least 5 GB of free disk space and a dual-core/quad-core processor, based on the number of processes that are running on the system.
- A strong network connection to help Provar run effectively.
- A recent version of Google Chrome browser. This browser is strongly recommended for use with Provar since it gives you access to the Test Builder, a chrome application, which lets you build tests quickly from within Salesforce. If you don’t have Google Chrome installed, you can still use Provar, but this plugin will not be available. Get in touch with us for more information on how to adjust your testing process accordingly.
- Git command line tools.
- Only Java 8 is supported.
