Running a suite at specific intervals

Frontend Robot can be a very useful monitoring system. In fact, you can choose to run a test suite at specific intervals to verify that your application is running as it should.

The usual pattern is to monitor a production system at short intervals using a test suite with just a few meaningful tests. While larger suites are run against a staging/testing environment after each new commit or deploy (for example, by using smart triggers in your build system).

Creating a run schedule

To create a run schedule, go to the suite’s settings:

Scroll down to the Run Schedule section. To define a schedule you first need to check the checkbox Enable run schedule.
