Test Pilot is web server extension software. Some web servers require additional software called a Java servlet runner in order to run Test Pilot. Be sure to ask the party initiating the order for Test Pilot if they will need the servlet runner. It is not included with Test Pilot by default.
Typically, new Test Pilot purchasers with Windows-based servers will need to purchase a servlet runner. Test Pilot users who are upgrading from a previous version of Test Pilot will generally NOT require a new servlet runner purchase.
