On-demand and scheduled suite runs
We try to have our tests run as often as possible. Sometimes, this can impact our environment, which then blocks the manual test team from doing their work.
Other times, this process is quiet and uneventful. There was a project manager who once asked if we could run automated test suites more often than just at the end of the sprint release cycle. I happily showed our histogram from our Allure reports and assured everyone the tests ran on a nightly cadence. We reviewed those results every morning for unexpected failures and state changes. As we wrote new tests and maintained others, we also noted that nearly every test was executed multiple times a day to ensure they impacted each other.
