    Hey,

     

    If you still didn't got it here is what you need to do:

    1. Right click on your desktop and click on New -> Text Document;

    2. Rename your file to something more descriptive while also changing the extension so something like "run_regression.bat";

    3. Now right click the file and select Edit;

    4. Copy and paste the following lines:

     

    cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.3.0\bin"
testrunner.bat -a -f "C:\Users\luciana\Desktop\reports" "C:\Users\luciana\Desktop\DemoProject-soapui-project.xml"

     * Please note that the first path is the path to your SoapUI installation folder (so mine is in C:\Program Files...)

     * The second path (the one after the '-f ') tells SoapUI where to put the report files. It's important to know that SoapUI creates a file for EVERY test step you have. If you don't want your folder to get lots of file you can just skip the '-a' option and in this case SoapUI will only generate reports for failing test steps.

     * The third path is the path where your SoapUI project is saved (so I have a project called 'DemoProject-soapui-project.xml' which is located on my desktop).

     

    Ok, now you're all set. In order to get it to run automatically click on the Windows Start -> Task Scheduler -> Create Basic Task (from the right of the screen). Then just select the bat file you created and you should be good to go.
