Create Pipelines

pelines in SimplifyQA help automate the execution of test cases or test suites as part of your testing lifecycle. Whether you're scheduling routine regression runs or integrating with your CI/CD tools, creating a pipeline ensures a smooth and structured execution process.

Why use Pipelines?

  • Automate test executions with predefined configurations

  • Reuse pipelines across sprints/releases

  • Enable seamless integration with DevOps workflows

  • Schedule and trigger tests efficiently

How to create a pipeline in SimplifyQA?

  1. Enter the required details and click on save to create the pipeline

Configure the pipeline details:

  • Pipeline Type: Choose whether you want to run on Test Case or Suite

  • Execution Type: Choose whether you want to run on Local or Cloud

      If you choose to run tests locally:

      • Select Local under Execution Type.

      • You must specify the Local Machine Name where the SimplifyQA Agent is installed and running.
