Overview
Automation Server is used to execute your Bizagi processes on runtime environments such as a production or a test environment.
Keep in mind that, if you are going to perform stress tests, unless you are using staging or a pre-production environment, it is recommended to set a test environment which has similar characteristics to your designated production environment.
Minimum requirements for the production environment are described at the following links, according to the system architecture of your choice.
•High availability .NET setup.
Simplified test environment
Minimum requirements for a simplified test environment, is represented by the image below:
Requirements
The following requirements are narrowed down by database server, Bizagi server, and other infrastructure assets.
Database server
For a test environment, a single server is involved considering the following requirements:

Bizagi server
For a test environment, a single server is involved considering the following requirements:
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BIZAGI SERVER |
||
|---|---|---|
HARDWARE |
RAM |
8 GB minimum. |
Hard Disk |
40 GB minimum. |
|
Processor |
•64-bit. •2 cores minimum. •2.4GHz or higher- |
|
SOFTWARE |
Operating System |

Web Server |
•IIS 10 •IIS 8.5 •IIS 8.0 •IIS 7.5 |
|
Additional Components |
•Automation Server, which also installs Microsoft's .NET Framework version 4.6.1 (and this one includes in turn, other components such as Visual C++ 2010, 2008 Redistributable). •Oracle Data Provider for .NET component (applies to projects that connect to an Oracle database). |
|
Sites requirements
If you are using Bizagi Sites, you need any of the following versions of .NET Core:
•.NET Core 2.1.1
•.NET Core 2.2.104
•.NET Core 2.2.3
Bizagi Studio server installer includes the 2.1.1 version by default.
User-acceptance testers
Bizagi Work portal is a web-based application and therefore, testers (and end users) only need a browser or Bizagi's app installed for mobile devices.
Bizagi presents several optimization measures featured by its own product architecture, focused on mobile devices support, so that the best user experience is provided without the need of demanding requirements (for instance, Bizagi has been tested with 3G and 4G internet).
Even though Bizagi does not demand a high speed in the network for end user connectivity, consider that there are factors which are beyond Bizagi's control, and which may affect overall end user experience.
End users on mobile devices would be communicating over the internet (its communication will inherently depend upon factors such as: A higher latency in data transmission, fluctuations, interference and congestion affecting the speed of the channel, or the quality of the networks used during transmission, among others).

Important
Consider the following notes:
1. Operating systems installed in Turkish language are not supported.
All involved servers will need to be set with regional settings different to those for Turkish language and culture (tr, tr-TR).
2. Consider recommended guidelines when installing and configuring Bizagi.
These guidelines include a sizing estimation for best performance, as well as relevant infrastructure aspects in the overall system architecture.
For instance, there are recommendations regarding the network or when setting up the above servers in virtual machines.
For more information about these recommendations, refer to the Optimizing performance chapter.
