	==== Static Setup ====		==== Static Setup ====
	For static configurations, ALM knows about hosts which can ~~are to~~ be used for test execution, and these definitions are held inside ALM. It is then the ALM administrator's or individual project manager's responsibility to define a list of test machines. In this setup, the machines must be reachable by ALM, and ALM will actively contact them for ~~tea~~ execution.

In this setup, the machines must be reachable by ALM, and ALM will actively contact them for test execution.

	This static configuration is best for a test lab, where a predefined number of machines (virtual or real) are reserved for test execution.

	==== Dynamic Setup ====		==== Dynamic Setup ====
	In the alternative dynamic setup, individual machines announce their willingness to execute tests, without a need for prior configuration within ALM. For this, the client actively sets up a connection to ALM, provides authentication and details about its machine architecture.
