Scheduling and alerting

Once you've created a test, you can schedule it to run on a regular basis and get notified when it fails.

Scheduling a test

To schedule a test, you can click on the Schedule in a suite button in the top-right corner of the test editor.

As you can see, you're now asked to select or create a suite to add the test to.

A suite is a collection of tests that are run together.

This allows you to run multiple tests together and get notified when any of them fail.

Select or create a suite popup

Click on the New suite button to create a new suite.

Then, you can give your suite a name and choose Scheduled as the trigger type.

Configure the schedule as you see fit and click on the Create button.

Create a new suite

Once created, you will be able to choose the suite and add your test to it.

Congratulations, you've just scheduled your first test suite!

Later you will be able to retrieve your suites and manage them via your dashboard.

Now, let's see how to configure alerting for your test suite to get notified when a test fails.

Alerting

To configure alerting for your test suite, go to the Alert settings page.

Alerting tab

The simplest way to get started is to configure an email alert.

Click on the Add button of the email integration.
