Test Automation Notifications

Prev Next

Configure Test Automation email notifications to alert recipients when an execution agent stops responding or when an automated test execution contains a failed run. Failed-execution notifications also cover API-triggered executions.

Unresponsive agent notifications

An agent is considered unresponsive when it has sent no heartbeat for 10 minutes, and one of the following is true:

  • No execution is in progress, or

  • The last execution it fetched is still incomplete after 2 hours.

An alert is sent once per issue. It is not repeated unless the agent recovers and then becomes unresponsive again.

Failed test execution notifications

An email notification is sent when an automated test execution contains at least one failed run, including API-triggered executions. Executions do not need to have all runs fail to meet this condition.

Setting up notifications

  1. Click the settings button to open the settings panel.

  2. Scroll down to the Test Automation section and click Manage next to Notification.

  3. Enable the notification option for the alerts you want to receive: Agent not responsive for unresponsive agents, or the failed test execution notification option for executions with failed runs. You can enable both notification types.
