# AIQ Cloud Architecture Overview

# AIQ Cloud Architecture Overview

AIQ cloud deployments use controller, execution, storage, and integration components sized for the target workload. Exact architecture depends on the customer environment, deployment model, and AIQ release.

## Core areas

- Controller services coordinate users, projects, executions, and reporting.
- Execution capacity is provided by Test Nodes or equivalent worker resources.
- Storage and data services retain configuration, execution results, and operational test data.
- Networking, certificates, proxy rules, and integrations connect AIQ to the systems under test.

## Operational checklist

1. Document ports, domains, certificates, and proxy requirements.
2. Size execution capacity for the expected browser, service, mobile, or performance workload.
3. Monitor controller, database, and Test Node health during high-volume runs.
4. Review security, access, backup, and retention requirements with the environment owner.

# Configure Scriptless Test Deployment

Use scriptless test deployment configuration to prepare Scenario Editor tests for execution in the intended AIQ environment. Keep deployment settings aligned with the target environment, Test Node capacity, browser support, and test data strategy.

## Before deployment

- Confirm the target environment, browser or device requirements, and Test Node availability.
- Validate test data and credentials using approved secure configuration methods.
- Review scenario waits, locators, and validations for maintainability.
- Run a focused validation execution before adding the test to a larger suite.

## Deployment notes

1. Document environment-specific settings and avoid hard-coding them into steps.
2. Keep reusable data in DPLs or approved data sources.
3. Review output after the first scheduled or suite execution.

# Cloud Configuration FAQ for AIQ

Use this FAQ to answer common AIQ cloud configuration questions without duplicating provider-specific setup steps.

## Validation workflow

1. Identify whether the question is about cloud provider setup, grid capacity, or node connectivity.
2. Verify credentials, routing, firewall rules, and browser versions before changing AIQ settings.
3. Use a small validation run before scaling to a full cloud execution.
