Scheduled Test runs

Schedule recurring test runs so regression suites execute automatically on a cadence, no manual setup each time.

​

​

Overview

Scheduled test runs let you define a repeating cadence (daily, weekly, or custom) for any test run configuration. When the schedule fires, Qase automatically creates a new test run with the cases, environment, and settings you specified. This is ideal for regression suites, smoke tests, or any suite that should run on a predictable rhythm.

​

Both manual and cloud test runs support scheduling.

​

​

Creating a Schedule

You can create a scheduled test run either from the Test runs section, or from the test repository by selecting the cases directly.

​

You can select the start date, time and the interval (how often the run is repeated). At the selected time, you will see a new test run in the 'Run execution' tab.

​

When the scheduled time arrives, a new test run appears in the Run Execution tab. Scheduled runs are marked with a repeat icon '🔁' so you can distinguish them from manually created runs.

​

​

Managing Schedules

All active schedules are visible in the Scheduled tab within Test Runs.

  • Calendar view — select any date to see which runs are scheduled. Dates with upcoming runs show a dot indicator.

  • Edit — update the run's title, description, included test cases, or schedule timing from the detail view.

  • Delete — remove a schedule entirely. Runs already created by that schedule are not affected.

​

​

Things to Know

  • Editing a schedule only affects future runs. Runs already created continue as-is.

  • If you need to pause a schedule temporarily, delete it and recreate it later, there is no pause/resume toggle.

  • Scheduled runs inherit the configuration set at creation time. If you add new cases to a suite after creating the schedule, update the schedule to include them.
