New Job Scheduling

The New Job Scheduling is available as an add-on. For details, contact your account manager.

The New Job Scheduling is a high-performance test automation framework that allows organizations to create, manage and execute test batches.

Each test batch, called a suite, contains jobs. Each job can run multiple tests, sequentially using a defined blueprint. When a job starts running, a sandbox based on the job’s blueprint is created specifically for the job’s execution and torn down when the job completes. As such, a suite can have several jobs, each running tests on different sandbox environments.

Important: At this point, Robot tests are supported, but the New Job Scheduling can be extended to support additional test types on request. To support a testing framework, you need to configure two dedicated services, a Test Discovery Service for retrieving the tests from the test repository and a Test Execution Service for running the tests of this type.

The New Job Scheduling is the 2^nd Gen version of CloudShell’s existing Job Scheduling solution and features a streamlined user experience, improved performance and support for bigger loads.

With the New Job Scheduling, you get:

• Test automation and execution capabilities
• Support for on-demand/scheduled executions
• Out-of-the-box support for Robot Framework tests
• Test Execution Servers assigned to specific domains
• Capability to manage the rapid execution of hundreds of jobs in parallel through API and UI specifically designed to handle such loads
• Dedicated sandbox environment spun up per job with the required infrastructure, applications and networks
• User-friendly UI allowing you to set up and execute suite templates in minutes
• RESTful API for automation and integration with CI/CD tools
• Reports per test execution
