Test scheduling policies

Use test scheduling policies to automate tests of SCM-integrated branches on a weekly or daily basis.

Organization Admins and Organization Application Managers can create and manage test scheduling policies on the Policies page.
Important: If you assign a test scheduling policy to a project or branch that isn't connected to an SCM repository, it will not function as expected. Before you use test scheduling policies, set up an SCM integration, and import branches from your repository. For more information, see Integrate a SCM Repository to a Project and Create and manage branches in a project.
