Random Schedule

Kris · Post by **Kris** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 3:18 am

Hi all,

I have a bunch of similar WMI tests that need to run once a day.
If I run them all at once, a few will return 'unknown' or 'timeout'-like status.
Of course I can manually spread them over a certain period of time, using a 1-minute gap between them.
But that's too much administration to me.

Would it be possible to create a schedule that runs a test once at a random moment between 22:00 and 23:00?

Place these tests in one folder, mark Non-simultaneously test execution option in Test Properties dialog.
With this option enabled tests that located in the folder will not be executed at the same time. Test items located in different folders may be executed simultaneously even in case option is set for all of these folders.

Regards
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your quick response.
I am aware of the Non-simultaneously test execution option, which I do use in several scenarios.
However, in this specific case it is undesirable to move these tests away from the machine folders they are associated with.

I'll think of something else instead

You may place test in one folder + link to different folder.

Another possible solution - assign "repeat test" action to these tests.

or may be you just need to update your system? What Windows do you use?
Normally Windows can perform many WMI requests without problems.

It's HM 11.99 running on Win10 64bit VM with 2 vCPU's and 8Gb mem running appr. 1200 test items.
There are no apparent resource bottlenecks, so it seems.
