# 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. Log in to your SimplifyQA account
2. Navigate to the **Pipelines** section from the left-hand panel.

#### 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**

  * **Local Execution**

    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.
  * **Cloud Execution**

    If you opt for Cloud Execution, you need to register your execution environment on the cloud first. This allows to spin up virtual machines or containers for remote execution.

  &#x20;\
  Refer to [Cloud Configuration](/marketplace/integrating-with-cloud-platforms/vm-based.md) to configure your cloud.

* **Test Case/Suite ID:** Select a test case or a suite.

* **Version & Execution Type:** Select the desired versions.

* **Machine Name:** Specify the machine for test execution.

* **Environment:** Choose the data environment.

* **Release and Sprint:** Define these for tracking purposes.

6. Once you have filled all the required details, click on save.
