Run Templates

Using Run Templates

You can use run templates to simplify starting runs with the same run parameters each time. You can choose flows and datasets to use, pages to test, what kind of testing to perform, and other parameters like whether or not to stop testing after flows are completed.

Detailed Steps

  • From the Run Templates page, create a new template or copy an existing one.
  • Set the parameters according to your preferences, noting the following:
    • Page Load Timeout determines the maximum time the agent will wait for the page to load completely before logging an error and attempting to proceed.
    • Action Retry Attempts tells the agent how many times to retry an action (such as click) on a component. The agent will wait five seconds between each retry.
    • Enable Model Updates can be turned off if your application has not changed to speed up testing.
    • If you have created test datasets in the Data page, you can map the name used in flows and rules to the actual test dataset name.
    • Stop run after executing flows does exactly what it says. If you turn it off, the agent will perform autonomous testing from the point that the flows completed.
  • From the Start page, select your run temlate and click Start to begin testing. You can optionally change the run parameters before starting your test to customize a run, and optionally save the changes to modify the run template for future runs.
