Use the Settings page to configure the service user credentials for running tests and to set up email notifications. Open it by clicking the Settings icon in the Test Services navigator.

Setting up credentials for running tests​

If no credentials are configured here, any logged-in user with the correct privileges can start tests. Configuring a service user allows tests to run under a fixed account regardless of who triggers them.

  1. Click the Settings icon in the navigator.

  2. Under Credential Settings, configure credentials for each test type:

    Ad-hoc tests

    Select the credentials for user-initiated tests.

    • Always use the following credentials for running user-initiated tests — when selected, all user-initiated tests run under the credentials you enter here. When not selected, tests run under the credentials of the currently logged-in user.

    Scheduled tests

    Select the credentials for scheduled tests.

    • Always use the following credentials for running scheduled tests — when selected, all scheduled tests run under the credentials you enter here. When not selected, tests run under the credentials of the user who created or last modified the schedule.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page and click Save.

Setting up email notifications​

Test Services can send email summary reports when tests are executed. Email is sent using OpenLab Shared Services.
