About the Test Session Scheduler
The Test Session Scheduler allows you to automate the execution of any configured test session in the Test Library. All users can schedule tests and modify their test schedules. Users with Test Administrator or higher permissions can manage all scheduled tests. Schedules are color-coded to indicate ownership. Your tests are highlighted with cyan and other user's schedules are shaded with gray.
-
Specify the day and time the test will start and optionally set a stop day and time or stop the test after a set duration. Schedules can be defined in 5-minute increments.
-
View only your tests or all scheduled tests in a weekly or daily calendar format.
When scheduled tests are running, you can monitor them with the System Status window, with the Real-Time Logs by searching for the verb Schedule, or by reconnecting to the test session.
To schedule a Recurring Test via the Recurring Test Wizard, use the (Shift-Alt-W) hot key.

However, when you pause scheduled tests, it is persistent and if you restart the TAS, they will still stay paused. |
