4.0. Scheduled Run

Schedule tests to run automatically at specific times. Configure devices, apps, and run times based on your project type. Choose between one-time or recurring runs.

Schedules combine run types and frequency:

• Run Types
  • One-Time Run
    • Runs once at the set time
    • End Time not set
  • Recurring Run
    • Runs repeatedly during the specified time range
    • Continues from Start Time to End Time
    • Even if the End Time is reached, ongoing tests continue until completed
• Frequency
  • You can set it to run daily, on specific weekdays, on weekends, or for a set number of times.
