Machines Status View

The Execution Status View is a useful source of information for the current status of a Scheduling setup. You can find out if a project is connected to a configured Scheduling service, or it is set to run only locally. For projects, which are connected to a Scheduling service, you can find additional details for the Test Studio services state and the currently registered Execution machines.

Machines Status View Window

To access the Status view you can click Machines in the Scheduling ribbon of the Project tab.

Connect Project Locally

When current project is connected to schedule test lists locally, the Machines Status view provides details only for the local service status under the Scheduling server section.
