QA Wizard Pro Server

The QA Wizard Pro Server (QAWServer.exe) stores global application data and hosts the server database. It is required to use the global repository, dashboard, status tool, and Helix ALM Data Warehouse integration.

Only an administrative user needs to install the server on a networked Windows computer. The server admin utility (QAWServerAdmin.exe), which is used to manage the server, is also installed. See Managing the QA Wizard Pro Server.

Dashboard

The dashboard lets you monitor script playback information and statistics in a web browser.

To use the dashboard, an administrative user must install files on the same computer that hosts the QA Wizard Pro Server and configure a web server. See Installing and configuring the dashboard.

Status Tool

The status tool (QAWStatusTool.exe) lets you review script playback information line-by-line. It does not require a license and can be installed on any computer to help you monitor local and remote scripts during and after playback. A connection to the QA Wizard Pro Server is required. See Viewing playback information in the status tool.
