On-demand Runs
How to trigger a Test run on demand and what happens next.
You can trigger any test on demand from the Smoketest dashboard.
How to run a test
Open your project
Go to the dashboard and select the project containing the test you want to run.
Select the test
Click on the test from the list. The test detail page shows past runs and the current configuration.
Click Run
Click the Run button in the top-right corner. Smoketest queues the run immediately.
Watch the live view
The live view opens automatically. Steps stream in as the agent works — you'll see each action and a screenshot as it's captured.
Review the result
When the agent finishes, a pass, fail, or inconclusive result appears along with the full video recording and step log.
While the run is queued
If workers are busy, your run will wait in the queue. The live view shows a Queued status while it waits. Runs typically start within a few seconds.
Credit usage
Credits are charged in 10-minute blocks of agent runtime. A run that finishes in 8 minutes costs 1 credit; a run that takes 15 minutes costs 2 credits.
If you cancel a run while it is queued (before the browser session opens), no credits are consumed. If you cancel after the session has started, you are charged for the time used up to that point.
Cancelling a run
You can cancel a run while it's queued or running by clicking Cancel in the live view.
