DevTest Server System Requirements

CA Application Test, CA Service Virtualization, and CA Continuous Application Insight require the registry in DevTest Server.

The minimum requirements for DevTest Server are:

• CPU: 2 GHz or faster, 4 cores minimum
• RAM: 4 GB
• Disk Space: 50 GB
• Database: See Database System Requirements. The database can reside on a different system and must have at least 200 GB of storage.

The recommended requirements for DevTest Server are:

• CPU: 2 GHz or faster, 8 cores minimum
• RAM: 8 GB
• Disk Space: 50 GB
• Database: See Database System Requirements. The database can reside on a different system and must have at least 500 GB of storage.

For load and performance testing, the following resources are recommended:

• 250 virtual users for each simulator
• 1 processor core and 2-GB RAM for each simulator

Example for 4000 concurrent virtual users: 16 simulators; 16 processor core; 32-GB RAM (for DevTest)

For each data center:

• 1 test registry and 1 coordinator
• 1 processor core/process = 2 processor cores
• 2 GB RAM/each = 4 GB (for DevTest)

A basic DevTest Server configuration has one enterprise dashboard, one registry, and one portal, which are required for all products. CA Application Test requires one coordinator server and one simulator server. CA Service Virtualization requires one virtual server environment. CA Continuous Application Insight requires one broker. Only one enterprise dashboard server is required for any given configuration.
