[![image.png](https://docs.appvance.net/uploads/images/gallery/2026-10/scaled-1680-/IuCsCdcef2h8F7e9-image.png)](https://docs.appvance.net/uploads/images/gallery/2026-10/IuCsCdcef2h8F7e9-image.png)  
  
AIQ is **not** compatible with other Java OpenJDKs. Graalvm OpenJDK 11 21.3.x is required.  
  
All **outbound** traffic should be allowed.

## AIQ End-User System

The end-user systems will access AIQ only from a browser. The following ports must not be in use, and must permit internet access (inbound traffic):

### AIQ End-User Port Requirements

- TCP 8443/8080 outbound to connect to AIQ server (controller) for HTTPS/HTTP access. Must permit internet access (not blocked by firewall for outbound traffic).
- TCP 9013 outbound to connect to AIQ server (controller) for PDF comparison service. PDF comparison service to the server (controller).
- TCP 9090/9091 Test Designer client (internally open only). It must not be in use.
- TCP 443 outbound to download required GraalVM
- TCP 443 to www.graalvm.org & github.com if local GraalVM does not have JS installed
- TCP ports outbound needed to access the applications under test (AUT).
- TCP to Appium Server if using Mobile Blueprint or IDE with local device emulator or simulator (not required if using cloud provider such as SauceLabs)

## AIQ Server (Controller / Test Nodes)

Following are the ports that need to be opened in the server that will host Appvance IQ.

### AIQ Server (Controller) Requirements

- TCP 8080 HTTP port. Bidirectional access between the Controller, end user, and all Test Nodes (Either 8080 or 8443 is required, not both)
- TCP 8443 HTTPS port. Bidirectional access between the Controller, end user, and all Test Nodes (Either 8080 or 8443 is required, not both)
- TCP 9013 inbound access from the user laptop and from all Test Nodes. Required for PDF comparison service.
- TCP 3306 Port access between AIQ Controller and MySQL service/server (if applicable)
- TCP port (typically 443) outbound to clone/push repository files from GIT provider (Gitlab, Github, TFS, etc)
- TCP 443 to www.graalvm.org & github.com if local GraalVM does not have JS installed
- TCP 443 outbound to https://www.ipecho.net/plain to get local external IP (Optional )
- TCP 8079 Java processes shutdown port required only within the controller and test nodes (internal to each system only)
- TCP 8090 Security Testing is required only within the controller and test nodes (internal to each system only)
- TCP 9090 Test Designer port, required for internal use within Controller and Test Nodes (not external)
- TCP 9091 Test Designer port, required for internal use within Controller and Test Nodes (not external)
- TCP 9091 or 9090 to the TestNode where the Web Blueprint is run (and local Plugin is not used for Blueprint)
- TCP 9095-9100 From end-user computer outbound to AIQ Controller (required only for recording HTTP traffic from the end-user computer)
- TCP for time server (if the license requires external server time @oscar mora can confirm which servers)
- TCP to Appium Server if using Mobile Blueprint or IDE with local device emulator or simulator (not required if using cloud provider such as SauceLabs)

### AIQ Test Nodes (Load Generators) Requirements

- TCP 3306 outbound for MySQL server (if applicable)
- TCP 8443 inbound and outbound to the AIQ server (controller)
- TCP 9013 outbound to the AIQ server (controller) for PDF comparison service
- TCP 8443 inbound and outbound to the other TestNodes to coordinate Database saving
- TCP 443 outbound to https://www.ipecho.net/plain to get local external IP (Optional)
- TCP ports outbound needed to access the applications under test (AUT).
- TCP 443 to www.graalvm.org & github.com if local GraalVM does not have JS installed
- TCP to Appium Server if the mobile test uses external Appium
