# Schedule a Test

Scheduling a test in Optibase is simple and ensures your tests run automatically during the specified time period. Here’s how to set it up:<br>

**Steps to Schedule a Test**

1\. Open the test you want to schedule from your dashboard.

2\. Click on the Status dropdown for the test.

3\. Choose the Scheduled option from the dropdown menu.

4\. Set Start and End Dates:

• Specify the Start Date and End Date for your test.

• The test will automatically begin on the selected start date and stop on the selected end date.

5\. Confirm and save your schedule to apply the changes.

**Additional Notes**

• You can update or adjust the schedule at any time before the test starts.

• If you need to manually start or stop the test, you can change the status back to Active or Draft from the same menu.

With these steps, Optibase will take care of running your test within the specified timeframe, making it easier to plan and automate your experiments!
