Scheduling an NQA test group
You can schedule an NQA test group by setting the start time and test duration for a test group.
A test group performs tests between the scheduled start time and the end time (the start time plus test
duration). If the scheduled start time is ahead of the system time, the test group starts testing immediately.
If both the scheduled start and end time are behind the system time, no test will start. To view the current
system time, use the display clock command.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you schedule an NQA test group, complete the following tasks:
• Configure test parameters required for the test type.
• Configure the NQA server for tests that require cooperation with the NQA server.
Scheduling an NQA test group
Follow these steps to schedule an NQA test group:

nqa schedule admin-name
operation-tag start-time { hh:mm:ss
[ yyyy/mm/dd ] | now } lifetime
{ lifetime | forever }

testing immediately.
forever specifies that the tests do
not stop unless you use the undo
nqa schedule command.
Configure the maximum number of
tests that the NQA client can
simultaneously perform
nqa agent max-concurrent number
Optional
By default, an NQA client can
simultaneously perform two tests at
most.
NOTE:
• After an NQA test group is scheduled, you cannot enter the test group view or test type view.
• System adjustment does not affect started or completed test groups. It only affects test groups that
have
not started.
