5. Check the specific branch for your release in Aura release vs QA Tool branches and switch to this branch using the following instructions:

   git checkout <branch_name>
   

Create and activate the new virtual environment

Make available a new virtual environment through these steps:

1. Create a virtual environment for the project:

   $ cd <project_folder>
   $ virtualenv venv
   

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   $ source venv/bin/activate
   

3. If it is required to deactivate the virtual environment:

   $ deactivate
   

Install requirements

⚠️ Remember that it is highly recommended to reinstall the QA Tool requirements if you have installed a new Aura Platform release

Once the virtual environment is activated, install the packages required for the QA tests execution in the current environment. The installation must be done inside the activated virtual environment.

The requirements are included in the file requirements_ob.txt, within the folder: https://github.com/Telefonica/aura-tests/blob/master/acceptance

The steps to do that, are described below:

$ cd [project_folder]/aura-tests 
$ cd acceptance/ 
$ pip install -r requirements_ob.txt
