Use Gmail SMTP Server to Send Result Email for Scheduled Test List Execution
Test Studio's Scheduling service allows sending an email with the results from scheduled test list runs. To enable the feature you need an available SMTP server and the necessary settings to access it from within Test Studio.
This article describes the settings needed if you decide to use the Google SMTP server instead of a company mail server in the Test Studio Scheduling setup.
Important
Ensure your company's security settings allow for communication with an SMTP server outside of the company's domain. As this may not be allowed by default you may need to discuss the matter with your System Administrators.
Prerequisites
You need to have few things in place before you continue:
- Active gmail account;
- Two-factor authentication activated for the gmail account;
- An application password created for the gmail account - see here for further details and recommendations on using an application password.
