Run Locally or on Cloud

Run Locally or on Cloud:​

  • CloudQA allows you to run your tests in different ways depending on your workflow. You can run them immediately after recording, from CloudQA's Chrome Extension or Test Case Editor, locally in your browser, or on CloudQA’s cloud infrastructure.

  • Running a Test Immediately After Recording

  • This is the fastest way to verify that your newly created test works correctly:

    • When the recording finishes and after saving the test, you will see a confirmation screen. Click Execute Test Case.

    • The test will start running either Locally or on the Cloud depending on the selected option.

    • When Run Locally is checked, the test will run in your own Chrome browser automatically in Incognito mode.

    • If Run Locally is unchecked, the test will run on CloudQA’s Cloud infrastructure.

  • Tip: Use this option when you want quick feedback right after creating a test.

  • Note:Before your first local run: You must enable the extension for Incognito mode:

    • Open chrome://extensions/
    • Click Details under “CloudQA Recorder”
    • Enable Allow in incognito
