Software and system requirements

Before you create and execute performance testing scenarios in Test Manager, make sure your organization and tenant meet the required infrastructure, robot, and test automation prerequisites. The configuration depends on the type of robot used to execute the load with: cloud robots or unattended, on-premises robots.

Studio requirements

Performance testing reuses your existing automated functional test cases. Make sure that you create your Studio tests based on the following conditions:

• Use a UiPath Studio version equal to or higher than 2025.10.
• Use a Test Automation project type.
• Using the latest activity package versions:
  • System.Activities version 25.4.2 or higher
  • Testing.Activities version 25.10.0 or higher
  • UIAutomation.Activities version 25.10.2 or higher
  • WebAPI.Activities version 2.1.0 or higher

Robot requirements

Configure the robot types you need.

• Serverless cloud robots consume Platform Units and are best suited for Web and API testing. They scale automatically in Test Cloud, but do not support desktop automations.
• On-premises robots consume 250 runtimes per Virtual Users Bundle and are required for desktop performance tests. These runtimes must be assigned within machine templates in Orchestrator. Refer to the system requirements for on-premises robots.

Data sources (Data Fabric entities)

Performance scenarios often require dynamic test data at scale. Test Manager can connect to Data Fabric entities, which serve as the source of parameterized test data during scenario execution. This ensures realistic and varied input for concurrent virtual users.
