Running my test in Execution Plan more then once

I have a set up 20 test cases that are in multiple folders (for example I have one called Log_in at the high level then 4 sub test). I then have a total of 3 high level folder like this. all the test...

The reason for continually running them is to stress the system. 3-4 hours would probably be more accurate. This are all UI test (not scripts) mostly using OCR steps (this product is not smart enough and has no objects).

 

1) How can i put this in a loop when I am running them from the Execution Plan.

2) I like the idea of scheduling a time to run the test. How and where would I be able to do that?

Hi gshipp 

 

In the execution plan there is a count tab option. 

 

You can set the number of counts(iterations) per item

 

My advice would be to use a test item/folder structure and place the count there. 

 

Anthing within that folder/test item will execute and re-execute based on the number of counts 

 

For periodically scheduling it may be done via a CICD or scheduler tool  

 

See https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/running/scheduling.html

on the stress testing part, what exactly is it that you are stress testing? 

 

What kind of application is it? 

 

I might be able to assist further on how best to approach this as simply reiterating or looping over time may not provide the needed results to effectively stress test your application
