# Run AIQ Tests Across Windows and Linux Machines

**Last reviewed:** September 28, 2026

Use this article when planning Scenario Editor or execution-node coverage across mixed Windows and Linux machines.

## What changed in this article

- Corrected the title grammar and changed the answer from a one-off FAQ into mixed-node execution guidance.
- Added practical compatibility checks for browser versions, drivers, filesystem paths, node labels, environment variables, and OS-specific dependencies.
- Clarified that mixed OS execution is valid only when the scenario and test data do not rely on OS-specific assumptions.

## Validation workflow

1. Identify which nodes are Windows and which are Linux, including browser and driver versions.
2. Review the scenario for OS-specific paths, shell commands, downloads, or file permissions.
3. Run a small node-targeted execution on each OS before scheduling a full mixed run.

**Review note:** Added node-readiness validation so mixed Windows/Linux execution does not hide environment-specific failures.
