Creating schedules
Create a single, recurrent, or Cron-based schedule to run an automated test set at a specified time.
Schedule an automated test set to run once, repeatedly, or on a Cron expression. Your schedules appear under Schedules in the Execution section.
Prerequisites
To create a schedule for an automated test, you need the Automated execution Test Manager permission. When creating a custom Test Manager role, you can find this permission under Task Permissions.
Note:
The Test Manager project roles that can create schedules are: Project owner, Test Manager, and Test Executor.
Steps
-
Go to the Execution section of your project, then navigate to Schedules.
-
Select Create Schedule.
-
Configure your schedule as needed, using the following fields:
- Schedule: Enter a name for your schedule.
- Test Sets: From the dropdown list, select an automated test set that you want the schedule to apply to.
- Description: Enter a description of the schedule.
- Schedule Type: Configure additional parameters depending on the schedule type you choose:
- Single: This type runs only once. Define a Start date and a Time zone.
- Recurrence: This type runs on a set cadence with a defined start, and end date:
- Repeat: Select the schedule cadence:
- Minutely: Set the number of minutes for the schedule recurrence.
- Hourly: Set the number of hours for the schedule recurrence.
- Daily: Set the number of days for the schedule recurrence.
- Weekly: Set the number of weeks for the schedule recurrence.
- Monthly: Set the number of months for the schedule recurrence.
- Start date: Set a start date for the recurrent schedule.
- End date: Select an end date for the recurrent schedule.
- Time zone: Select a specific timezone for the schedule.
- Repeat: Select the schedule cadence:
- Advanced: This type runs based on a cadence configured using Cron expressions.
- Cron Expression: Enter a Cron expression, using Quartz Cron syntax, that represents the schedule recurrence. For example, if you want to configure a schedule that runs every Tuesday, at midnight, you would use the following Quartz Cron expression:
0 0 0 ? * 2. For details, see Using Cron expressions. - Start date: Set a start date for the recurrent schedule.
- Time zone: Select a specific timezone for the schedule.
