Scheduling

Certain entities can be set to run on a specific schedule

Currently supported entities:

  • Test case

  • Test suite

  • Profiling object

  • Metadata schemas

Where schedules are set

Test cases, test suites and profiling objects are scheduled via the Schedule segment in the header of their detailed view — its label always shows the current cadence in plain language (or "Not scheduled"), and hovering it reveals the next execution time. Metadata schemas are scheduled via the clock icon on the schema's row in the connection's metadata panel. Profiling objects can also be scheduled in bulk from the profiling list's selection actions.

Schedule segment

Editing a schedule requires edit rights to the entity; without them the segment still shows the cadence and next execution read-only.

Schedule types

  • Not scheduled - Entity will not be run automatically

  • Selected day(s) - Entity will run on selected days at a selected time

  • Monthly - Entity will run every month on a selected day (In case month does not have enough days, it will be run on the last day)

  • Custom - Entity will run on a specified interval, every N minutes

  • CRON - Entity will run on user specified time
