This feature is exclusive to test plans on remote workspaces.
This article explains the schedule feature.
By setting up a schedule in a test plan, tests will be executed automatically at the specified time.
Prerequisites
This feature is exclusively for test plans on remote workspaces.
Scheduled executions can only be configured for cloud execution environments. Therefore, if you are not subscribed to cloud execution, you cannot select the Cloud tab in the execution environment or configure a schedule.
Add a schedule to a test plan
You can add a schedule in the test plan settings.
From the Test Plan List screen, click on the test plan you want to schedule.
Scroll down to the Schedule section, then click the Add button on it
If there are no cloud execution environments in the execution environment, you cannot add a schedule. Please add a cloud execution environment first
Configure the repetition unit and start time.
Repeats: Select the frequency for the test plan to run, either Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
Days: This option appears when you select Weekly. Select one or more days of the week to run the test on.
Date: This option appears when you select Monthly. Select the date (1-31) you want to execute the test.
The test will not be executed in months where the selected date does not exist (e.g., if the 31st is selected, it will not run in February, April, June, September, and November).
Start Time: Set the start time in 10-minute increments.
Time Zone: Set the time zone for the scheduled execution. This setting determines when your test is scheduled to run. This setting does not affect the time zone used by the browser during the actual test execution.
By default, the time zone is set to the local time zone of your system (PC).
If you want to change the time zone that the browser uses during a test run, please set the Timezone setting in the Test Plan itself.
Next Run: This displays the next scheduled execution date and time based on your settings.
Click Add.
Following these steps, your test plan will automatically run according to the schedule you set.
You can edit an existing schedule by clicking the Edit (
) button or delete it by clicking the Delete (
) button.
Notes
When deleting a cloud execution environment from a test plan with a configured schedule
If you try to delete all cloud execution environments from a test plan that already has schedules configured, a confirmation dialog will appear. Please note that performing this action will also delete all configured schedules.
If it is okay to delete the cloud execution environments and all schedules, follow the instructions in the dialog to proceed.
Setting several schedules
It is possible to set several schedules, for instance, if you wish to run the test more than once per day.
