Things to know and prepare before the installation

QwikTest requires PHP v7.4 with the following extensions enabled. PHP 7.4.10 is recommended.
OpenSSL PHP Extension
PDO PHP Extension
Mbstring PHP Extension
Tokenizer PHP Extension
XML PHP Extension
Ctype PHP Extension
JSON PHP Extension
ZIP PHP Extension
FileInfo PHP Extension
BCMath PHP Extension

MySQL Version
QwikTest requires a MySQL database with support for JSON columns. MySQL 5.7.24 is recommended. Currently, we only tested MySQL and MariaDB. PostgreSQL is not yet tested.
Hosting Services
QwikTest requires Linux-based shared hosting with CPanel or Cloud VPS. While QwikTest works just fine on shared hosting, there might be limitations; thus, we suggest using a VPS for better performance.
QwikTest works on all major managed hosting providers (GoDaddy, NameCheap, BlueHost, SiteGround, HostGator, etc.) and Cloud Providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, etc.)
QwikTest works on both Apache and NGINX. QwikTest is not compatible with the Hostinger LiteSpeed web server.
SMTP Mail Configuration
The application MUST HAVE a working SMTP configuration for user registration and password resets. Without it, you will get an error 500 on registration.
