In Normal Testing scenario, either the build manager or the Test & developement lead will install the working build with its GUI and give us a green flag to test the application.

but when you take product testing, (anti virus, os etc) a test engineer need to build the AUT from scratch. the developers will give the packages alone.

As a test engineer, we have a login to a UNIX server and run the required script files inorder to have a working build for testing.

by default we will follow the below steps,

1. Login to the UNIX servers (now a days all DBs are cums with the UNIX or LINIX platform)
2. run the script file which will create an instance for our testing (this will create a space in a selected DB)
3. then run a script file which will send the required data model to the DB.
4. run the script file which will load the data into the instance which we created.
5. after building the base, we will install the GUI in the required servers and give link (parameter setup) between build and the GUI for our testing.
