This article provides detailed information on the process to be followed for executing scripts in algoQA. You can execute scripts directly from the Test Scripts page or Script Generation pop-up. Scripts can run in Headless or GUI mode, with options to upload reports, use custom tags, enable auto-healing, or run in debug mode. Execution progress and results can be monitored on the Script Execution page, and detailed summaries and logs are available after completion.
