Automation Schedules

Automated Tests can be executed on demand, or they can be added to a Test Set for scheduled execution. This article explains how to create and attach an automation schedule to a test set.

To view all execution schedules, hover over the Tests tab and select Automation > Schedules.

Creating a new execution schedule

To create a new execution schedule, click on the Create execution schedule button.

Set the name for your execution schedule, an optional description, and hashtags.  

You can set the execution schedule as active or inactive. Inactive schedules will not trigger the test set execution on a virtual machine.

Define which day(s) of the week should the execution schedule be executed and select the desired time.

Scheduled Execution Email Notifications

Set up email notifications for users to review test execution results of scheduled runs.

Good to Know!

Emails are sent immediately after an execution is completed. However, notifications may take up to 24 hours if an execution is queued and fails to execute.

The email includes the final results, valuable metadata, and a link to the execution details in Panaya. It is also possible to set up the email only for failed executions.

Adding Test Sets

You can create a new Test Set or add existing ones to your execution schedule.

To add existing test sets, click on the Click here button.

Use the search box to locate an existing test set, or click on the magnifier button to view all tests sets.

Tip!

You can also click on the search box and hit the Enter key to view all existing tests sets.

Select the test set from the list and click on Add.
