Introduction
All the tests we create should be run as often as possible. It doesn't only allow to test the application, but also to stabilize our test scripts. By constantly running and improving the tests, we make sure that they only fail in case there are problems with the tested application, not the scripts themselves.
In this chapter, we will consider different ways of running test scripts and organizing script runs.
