# Node

Node is similar to a JDK (java development kit) file for Java or an SDK(software development kit)file for any software a prerequisite set of files, that should be present in the system of every Software Tester.‌

To run the Test cases creating Node is Mandatory. You can add Node from the Administration menu. After adding the Node you need to download a License File in the System Files in your local device to continue proper testing.‌

The above image you can see "Download License File" which is created only after adding Node.‌

**Steps for Node creation:**‌

**STEP 1**: **Login** -> **Administration** -> **Node** -> **Create Node**‌

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.qatts.com/v-3.0/administration/node.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
