QA and test Server?

[#1]

Hi All,

we need to have at least 2 separate server environments (logically separate Qlikview instances in this case for Prod and QA/test - so I assume we need at least 4 VMs, 1 for app server and 1 for publisher in 2 environments). Would like to know if QA/test environment means compulsorily do we need to purchase Test Server license. Kindly advice as I am bit confused over here.

Hi,

Yes if you need Test Server environment, you need a license for Test Server.

"QlikView Test Server is a license that provides an environment separate from production to use for data validation,

application testing, and preparation/migration of QlikView documents to new versions and/or releases of QlikView.

QlikView Test Server comes in two editions, QlikView EE Test Server and QlikView SBE Test Server,

both of which have the same features and limitations as the corresponding production servers.

In addition, the watermark “Test” is superimposed on all charts and added to all object captions."

Yes if you want 2 environments.

You could  use the same server for prod and qa/test (using different folder) and you don't need a test server license but I would not recommend it as in this way you're testing on the same hardware of the production.

Hi qlikviewharsha

We can use one server as QA and Production. One licence is enough.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies !!!

if one license is enough means I assume QV enterprise server right?

How are we going to accommodate for QA.if we have the same license. can you please give me more explanation or a flowchart kindof.

Here QA and Prod both are singale machine. Qlikview is just file based application. We have to maintain QA file /folder structure and Production file /folder structure.

Hope this will help you.

ok got it..

if we wanted to test the application we can have a separate folder path for QA,once its working fine we can move to folder path pointing to PROD.right
