For test sets, go to the Test Lab module > Test Sets tab. Use one of the following methods:

• To run all the tests in a functional test set, select a functional test set and click the Run Test Set button.

• To run a specific functional or performance test, select a test set and click the Execution Grid tab or Execution Flow tab. Select a test and click the Run button.

For build verification suites, go to the Build Verification module. Select a build verification suite and click the Run Build Verification Suite button.

This dialog box is used to allocate ad-hoc timeslots for Functional/Performance tests, test sets, and build verification suites. Whenever the generic term "test" is used below, it refers to a Functional/Performance test, test set, or build verification suite.

Select New or Reserved.

• New. Allows you to create a new timeslot. If the current resources are insufficient for the selected test, you are unable to reserve a timeslot to run the test.

• Reserved. Allows you to run a test in a reserved manual timeslot that has been assigned to your test or has not been assigned to any test. If there are no timeslots available, you are unable to schedule your test.

Displayed when you use a Reserved timeslot.

This grid includes the details of manual non-autostart timeslots which are currently reserved by you or another user, but are not yet assigned to another test.

The Status field in the grid can have the following values:

• Recommended. This timeslot is recommended because it was originally created by you and it is linked to the selected test entity.

• OK. You can run your test in this timeslot.

• Update needed. This timeslot is available, but it does not have sufficient resources for your run. If you choose to run your test in that timeslot, ALM automatically allocates the necessary resources.

Timeslot Properties

Duration. The amount of time, in hours and minutes, that you need the resources reserved. Click the Suggested Duration icon to open the Suggested Duration dialog box. For details, see Suggested Duration Dialog Box.

Automatically Extend Timeslot. If enabled, the testing timeslot will be automatically extended if tests are still running when the timeslot is about to end. For the timeslot to extend successfully, the necessary testing resources must be available in the timeslot extension. For details, see Extending Timeslot Reservations.

Requested Resources. The resources being requested for this test.

Vusers. The number of Vusers being allocated.

VUDs. The number of requested VUDs Vusers for the test rather than regular Vusers.

Post Run. The action to be taken when the test run is complete.

AUT Env. Configuration. Select an AUT environment configuration to be used for the test. For details, see How to Work with AUT Environments.

Deployment. If you select a CDA-linked AUT environment configuration, deployment details are displayed here. For more details about CDA deployment, see How to Work with AUT Environments.

Calculate Availability. Calculates the availability of the resources required for running the test and checks whether a new timeslot can be created.

Displays the results of the availability verification. If your timeslot cannot be reserved, the reason will be displayed.
