Executing automated tests

You can execute all test sets using Execute Automated. Orchestrator is invoked for test cases that have been linked to Test Manager. To execute test sets linked from Orchestrator, make sure you create your test sets in Orchestrator.

You can also execute automated test if the test set includes test cases linked from Studio. For more information, see Executing Tests.

Conditions

Important: To use the Execute Automated option, you need at least one automated test case in a test set.

Automated test executions have a default timeout of four days, that you cannot change. Any automated test execution that exceeds four days is marked as Cancelled.
Test execution for test sets linked from Orchestrator includes only the test cases that have been published to the Orchestrator Tenant Process Feed in the latest package version. If you want to execute new test cases, you need to publish a new package version in Orchestrator, and then link the test set to Test Manager.
If your Test Manager test set includes test cases from multiple Studio projects, then the project that has the highest number of test cases is considered for execution. Therefore, only the test cases from this project will be executed. In this case, you will receive the following message within Test Manager: "Test cases from multiple packages have been selected. Some of the test cases will not execute while running this test set."
You can execute test sets including test cases from multiple Studio projects, only if you have a test set linked from Orchestrator.
If your test set includes test cases that are duplicate in multiple Studio projects, the sorting is done by the project name in descending order. Only the test cases from the project that is placed first in the list will be executed.

Execute Automated Test Sets

Open your project in Test Manager and then navigate to Test Sets.
Select a test set and click the vertical ellipsis.
Select Execute Automated.
For more information on test results, see Analyzing Test Results.
Note:
- Test cases that cannot be executed are skipped during execution through Orchestrator.
- Test cases that are not executed generate test case logs with no result.

Alternatively, you can open your test set, click Execute and select Automated from the dropdown.

Live streaming and remote controlling

Note: This capability is available only in Test Manager delivered via Test Cloud.

You can view the live stream of a robot running a test execution, and, if needed, take control of the execution using your own mouse and keyboard, without pausing the test. This helps you troubleshoot and debug more efficiently, reducing manual interventions and time to resolution.

These capabilities are disabled by default and must be enabled either at the test set or test execution level.

Prerequisites

To use the live streaming and remote controlling capabilities, follow these steps:

Ensure that your Test Manager role has the following permissions:
- TestSets.Edit: To enable live streaming and remote controlling,
- View live stream of automated executions: To watch the test execution.
- Remotely control live stream of automated executions: To control the test execution remotely.
Note: By default, the Test Manager project role has the View live stream of automated executions permission. But to remotely control the live stream, a Test Manager Administrator must manually assign this permission to users via a custom role.
Enable the live stream or the remote control capability at the test set level, for the desired test set:
1. Open the test set or test execution.
  - For test sets: Go to the Configuration tab.
  - For test executions: Go to the Settings tab,
2. Select the Enable Live Streaming toggle to enable the capture of a live stream of a test execution.
3. Alternatively, if you want to be able to remotely control the running test execution, under Allow Remote Control select Enable.
Install a VNC viewer on your machine.
