Scheduled Test runs

Updated over a week ago

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 'πŸ”' 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 β€” select any date to see which runs are scheduled. Dates with upcoming runs show a dot indicator.

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

  • Delete β€” 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.
