Introduction to test scheduling
These instructions describe how to set up test scheduling in Provar. By following these steps, you will learn how to set up tests to run on a schedule and deliver a report of the results to your stakeholders. You will also learn how Provar can work with Version Control to help your team work more collaboratively and efficiently.
A standard DevOps flow with Provar looks like this:

This guide is divided into the following sections:
- Prerequisites (see below)
- Setting Apache ANT Environment Variables
- Generating a Build File
- Version Control and DevOps
- Setting up Continuous Integration
To run Provar tests without first installing Provar (e.g., on Linux), follow the guide to Generating a Build File, then refer to Running Provar on Linux.
Prerequisites
To complete your test scheduling setup, you will need the following:
Permission to download Apache ANT and Java JDK from their websites
System permissions to install Apache ANT and Java JDK on your machine
System permissions to add and update environment variables on your machine
Provar installed on your machine with a valid license
Access to the Test Case files that you want to schedule
Access to the Command Line (Windows) or Terminal (Mac) on your machine
