Installation Guide JAF - V1.5 Build 9

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

The installation of the automation framework involves two key components, Jenkins and the CAST Batch Web Service. Jenkins will run under almost any operating system, however since CAST will only run on windows, to keep things simple, it is recommended that it be installed under windows. This is only a recommendation, if the client has a working version of Jenkins, in an environment other than Windows use it.
This section describes the installation process for all required components.
