In Ptero, you can run tests in two ways: immediate runs and scheduled runs.
Immediate Run #
Immediate runs let you start tests right away using the Run Test feature in each project.
Use this to quickly test specific scenarios and view the results.
Accessing Run Test #
Method 1: Click the run icon in the project list.

Method 2: Select a project and click Run Test in the top-right corner.

Depending on the project type, you can adjust various settings.
Setup instructions by project type:
→ Ptero User Guide > 3.1. Immediate Run – Mobile App
→ Ptero User Guide > 3.2. Immediate Run – D2D Mobile App
→ Ptero User Guide > 3.2. Immediate Run – Browser
Scheduled Run #
Scheduled runs allow you to run tests automatically at set times.
This is ideal for regular monitoring or running tests overnight or on weekends without user intervention.
