System requirements
Test Services is installed with OpenLab CDS and is accessed from a web browser. This page lists the supported browsers, the operating system languages it runs in, and the access URLs and ports for each deployment type. It is for administrators planning a deployment and for users who need to reach Test Services from a browser.
OpenLab CDS compatibility
Use the version of Test Services bundled with your OpenLab CDS release. See Install Test Services.
Browsers
Test Services is a web application reached by opening a URL in a browser. Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are the supported browsers.
Table: Browser support
| Browser | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Edge | Chromium | |
| Google Chrome | 98 or later | If Adjust for daylight saving time automatically is turned off in Windows in a region that normally observes daylight saving time, dates can appear one hour off. Chrome does not follow this Windows setting; the underlying time remains correct, and the same date displays correctly in Microsoft Edge. |
Operating system languages
Test Services runs in English and in three localized languages. The interface, reports, and installer use the language of the host operating system. An unsupported operating system language falls back to English.
Table: Supported operating system languages
| Language | Status |
|---|---|
| English | Supported |
| Simplified Chinese | Supported |
| Japanese | Supported |
| Brazilian Portuguese | Supported |
Other operating system languages, including German and Russian, are not supported. For the full language detail, see Supported languages.
Access URLs and ports
The URL used to reach Test Services depends on the deployment type. Workstation, Workstation Plus, Server, and Analytical Instrument Controller (AIC) systems are reached through a reverse proxy on port 443 with no port number in the URL. Client systems are reached directly on port 52088.
Table: Access URLs by deployment type
| Deployment type | Access URL | Port |
|---|---|---|
| Server, AIC, Workstation, Workstation Plus | https://<hostname>/openlab/testservices | 443 |
| Client (local) | https://localhost:52088/openlab/testservices | 52088 |
| Client (remote) | https://<client-fqdn>:52088/openlab/testservices | 52088 |
Replace <hostname> with the fully qualified host name of the server, AIC, or workstation, and <client-fqdn> with the fully qualified domain name of the client system.
If a firewall is present on a Client system, port 52088 must be open for the system to be reachable.
Network connectivity
Test Services connects to OpenLab Shared Services for authentication and to the storage backend for reports and results. On Client, AIC, Workstation, and Workstation Plus systems, the OpenLab CDS Connectivity Test verifies network connectivity: on a Client it checks the system AICs, and on an AIC, Workstation, or Workstation Plus it checks the instruments configured on the machine. The test does not run on Server systems. For storage options, see Supported storage backends.
