System Requirements ​

This article describes the system requirements both for the server on which the analyses are executed as well as on the users' side.

Requirements for Teamscale Cloud ​

If you use Teamascale's Cloud offering, we will handle all the hardware and software requirements for you. The only requirement is that the systems that you want to integrate, such as Git repositories, ticket systems, etc., must be reachable from our servers.

Non-Public Systems

If you want to integrate systems that are not publicly accessible (e.g. servers in your internal network), please contact us at sales@teamscale.com. Our technical experts will discuss with you how to connect your internal servers to Teamscale's Cloud offering using an IPsec based site-to-site VPN connection.

System Requirements for Analysis Server ​

If you decide to install Teamscale on your own hardware, you can choose between Linux and Windows machines. The following are the minimum requirements (for more detailed information on server sizing please refer to Performance Considerations):

  • Operating System:
  • Java: Java Runtime Environment (e.g., Oracle Server JRE or OpenJDK), Version 17 or later, 64-bit
  • CPU: 2 GHz, 2 or more cores recommended
  • RAM: 4 GB minimum
  • Disk Space:
    • Installation: 1.9 GB
    • Data: at least 10 GB

      Disk Space

      The disk space requirements for data highly depend on the amount of source code of the analyzed software, the time range of the history being analyzed, and the commit behavior, i.e., the frequency and number of committed files, within the time range analyzed.

      Hard Drive Performance

      We highly recommend using a local SSD. For large code bases (> 1 MLOC), a local SSD with high IOPS numbers is required. In these scenarios, network-attached storage will usually not be sufficiently performant. To verify your disk performance, please measure the I/O performance of your disks with fio and compare it to our reference table.

  • Web Browser (Users):
    • Chrome (version 87+)
    • Firefox (version 86+)
    • Edge (version 88+)
    • Safari (version 14.1+)

Sizing Example

As an example, a system of about 500 kLOC and a history of 1.5 years requires about 1 GB of disk space.

Additional system requirements for specific analyses ​

If the tools Stylecop or Sonarlint for C# are enabled in an analysis profile then the .NET 6 runtime or higher has to be installed first. It is already contained in the Teamscale docker image.

System Requirements for IDE Plugins ​

Here are the requirements for Teamscale users who want to use one of the Teamscale IDE plugins:

  • Eclipse: Eclipse SDK 4.6 (Neon) or later, running on Java 8 or later
  • Visual Studio: Visual Studio Version 2019 or later, .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later, Windows Vista or later
  • IntelliJ: 2019.3 or later
