Scheduling test plans

Scheduling lets you run a test plan automatically at a set time without anyone clicking anything. You can also run a plan manually at any time by clicking the Run button.

How to create a schedule​

  1. Open a test plan

    Go to Test Plans and open the plan you want to schedule.

  2. Click the Schedules tab

    Click the Schedules tab at the top of the test plan. The Schedules list shows Schedule Name, Status, Frequency, Next Run, and Actions columns.

  3. Click + Add Schedule

    Click the + Add Schedule button. A Create New Schedule popup appears.

  4. Fill in the schedule details

    Fill in the Schedule Configuration section:

Schedule Name - Give the schedule a clear name. Example: Nightly Run, Weekly Regression, Pre-release Check.

Description - Optional. Add a short note about what this schedule is for.

Scheduled Date and Time - Pick the date and time for the first run using the date picker.

Schedule Type - Choose how often the plan runs. Options include Once, Daily, Weekly, and more.

  1. Configure additional settings (optional)

    The popup also has three collapsible sections you can expand:

Execution Settings - Configure how the plan executes during the scheduled run.

Notification Settings - Set up notifications to be sent when the scheduled run completes.

Recovery and Error Handling - Configure what happens if a test fails during the scheduled run.

  1. Click Create Schedule

    Click the Create Schedule button. The schedule appears in the Schedules list showing its name, status, frequency, and next run time.

Schedules list columns​

Schedule Name - The name you gave the schedule.

Status - Whether the schedule is active or paused.

Frequency - How often the plan runs - Once, Daily, Weekly, etc.

Next Run - The date and time of the next scheduled run.

Actions - Edit or delete the schedule.

Running a plan manually​

You do not need a schedule to run a plan. At any time open the test plan and click the Run button in the top right corner to run it immediately.

Tip

Use manual Run for one-off or on-demand runs. Use schedules for automated runs that should happen regularly without anyone triggering them.
