Run Activities/Workflows as precondition before Test Set

Hi,
is it possible to run automatically a workflow before a test set run?
For example, starting several programs to avoid having to implement or wait for the start in each individual test case.

hi @JT_FF ,

I think you could technically schedule processes in Orchestrator to run before a test set, where all the process does is setup the environment by starting applications etc and leave them open.

The test cases will need to be setup with that assumption, though, so it should check for open applications before trying to open a new one, and to not close applications at the end of its run.

Then you would need another workflow to close applications at the end of the test.

Personally I wouldn’t recommend this approach though as a lot of things could go wrong in between workflows. It’s much safer to open application only for as long as you need it.

Slow and reliable beats fast and fragile.
Find your happy medium.

You’re right, that would probably lead to unstable behavior, thank you.
