Test run timing

[lbbodis]

I put the test cases into the execution Plan.
I want to perform one after the other.
Can I set the run time in advance (e.g. 03:05 AM for the night)?
If so, where and how should this be set?

@lbbodis,

Scheduling tests can't be done directly in TestComplete, you can however use 3rd party tools to initiate the tests or Windows Task Scheduler.

They can be started from

- Jenkins (with TC addon) or other CI/CD tool - TeamCity, etc..

- from CLI

The simplest way is with Windows command line and Windows Task Scheduler.

- I have found this approach does not mix well with some domain security policies

   - (CMD / Batch / BASH / Powershell or Task Scheduler may be disabled from domain admin)
