Development workstation requirements

Each developer workstation is a contained environment that includes your company’s Guidewire applications and the components needed to configure it. Guidewire recommends that the development workstation and environment meet requirements beyond end-user workstations.

Guidewire recommends high-performance I/O systems for development, such as RAID-0 and SCSI or SSD disks. Studio is a high I/O application. Installation of software that slows the I/O system, such as encryption or continuous virus scans, can handicap development productivity.

Note: See the Supported Software Components knowledge article for development workstation system requirements for PolicyCenter 10.1.2. Visit the Guidewire Community and search for knowledge article 1005, “Supported Software Components”.
