Default Test Execution Overview

You run Default tests in the client-side execution where users must start and manage test executions. For details about how ALM communicates with testing tools in client-side execution, see Authentication Mode in Client-side Execution.

You can run client-side automatic and manual tests and test sets from Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) regardless of which version of ALM you have.

You can run manual tests from a Default test set in ALM using Sprinter or the Manual Runner. For details about manual test execution in ALM, see Manual Test Execution.

You can run automatic tests from a Default test set in ALM using the Automatic Runner. For details about automatic test execution in ALM, see Automatic Test Execution.
