The installation procedure for Parasoft Virtualize Server depends on what servlet container you're deploying it to—and there are typically multiple ways to install into any given servlet container. In all instances:
- Install Parasoft Virtualize Server into its own dedicated servlet container (e.g., not shared with another web application)
- Deploy the WAR file at the root context of the servlet container.
- The server should run as a different user than the system user.
