Definition

A schedule automatically starts selected tests or a test group at a recurring time.

What it is for

Scheduled runs detect regressions without waiting for someone to click Run.

How it works

  • Pick a frequency: daily, weekly (choose the weekday), or monthly (choose the day of month). Then pick a time and timezone.
  • Select the tests or a saved group to run, with optional order and run-before dependencies, then save the schedule.
  • Press Start Cron to activate it; Rima starts the run automatically at each scheduled time and can email the results.
  • Stop Cron pauses the schedule without deleting its configuration.

Example

Run the “Release smoke test” group every weekday at 08:00 in the workspace timezone and email the result.

Common use cases

  • Daily production checks.
  • Weekly regression runs.
  • Monthly account audits.
  • Automatic monitoring of a critical journey.

Where to find it

Open a project, configure frequency, time, timezone, and selected tests, save, then press Start.

Limitations, requirements, and permissions

  • Scheduling requires schedule-management permission and an eligible plan.
  • Only enabled tests can be scheduled; at least one test or a saved group is required.
  • Monthly schedules skip months that do not contain the selected day (for example the 31st).
